The Refraction Indices and Brewster Law in Stressed Isotropic Materials and Cubic Crystals

We study the elasto-optic behavior of stressed cubic crystals (all classes) and isotropic materials (like e.g., glasses). We obtain the explicit dependence of the refraction indices on the stress (either applied or residual), as well as a mild generalization of the Brewster law for cubic crystals. W...
