In the numerical analysis, the largest incident and refractive angles at which refraction arises are obtained by optimizing directions of the optical axis of the uniaxial bicrystal. Meanwhile, the optical parameters of the ordinary uniaxial bicrystals (including homogeneity- junction and heterogeneity-junction) are given, and some representative laser wavelengths, the largest incident and refractive angles are obtained. The relation between the largest incident angles (or refractive angles) and refractive index is also discussed.展开更多
