Crystal Optics -- Learning resources wanted....

[shpongle]

What are some good resources : books, websites, etc to understand crystal optics? I am a graduate student and I want to start with the basics.

One book that I think every graduate Physics Student needs to read is J.F. Nye's "Physical Properties of Crystals -their representation by tensors and matrices" . I think it has a section on crystal optics as well. It is one of the better textbooks that is very thorough and very insightful, and at the same time still relatively easy to read.

At the graduate level, a standard introduction is the relevant chapter in Born and Wolf. Beyond that (photonic bandgap materials, for example), OSAs Handbook of Optics has a lot of good material in volume 4.

From the contents it looks fine! Thanks

It does have a chapter on crystals optics! Will search it in the library. Thanks
