Popis: 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. We show also that the optic indicatrix and the stress ellipsoid are coaxial only in the isotropic case. This theory allows the improvement of the measurement techniques, as photoelasticity, on cubic crystals and optically isotropic materials.
