Theoretical study of Cherenkov radiation emission in anisotropic uniaxial crystals

Description

A theoretical review of the Cherenkov radiation emission in uniaxial crystals is presented. The formalism of C. Muzicar in terms of energetic properties of the emitted waves are corrected. This formalism is used to simulate the Cherenkov radiation emission in a strongly birefringent sodium nitrate crystal (NaNO3) and to investigate the consequences of the slight anisotropy of sapphire (Al2O3) on the design of the Optical Trigger.
