CROPTICS Corporation's conical refractive element (CRE)
CROPTICS, based in Barcelona, has developed a biaxial crystal CRE that is optimal for reproducing conical refraction. Conical refraction is known to have been predicted by Hamilton in 1832, but suitable crystals for reproducing it have been scarce, making it an optical phenomenon that has long been overlooked. The CRE allows for the actual observation of conical refraction and serves as a useful tool for studying its principles and characteristics. *Conical refraction is a phenomenon where a beam incident on a biaxial crystal refracts into a conical shape within the crystal, generating a ring-shaped beam. It is being recognized as a new method for generating Bessel beams, and applications in new uses are anticipated. For more details, please check the "Download" section.
