A branch of crystallography that studies the optical phenomena of crystals (which exhibit significant optical anisotropy, such as birefringence and pleochroism). The foundations were established experimentally in the early 19th century by D. Brewster (1781-1868) of England, and theoretically by Fresnel of France. In the second half of the 19th century, observation techniques advanced with the use of polarizing microscopes, and this contributed to the development of knowledge about crystal symmetry.

結晶の光学的現象(複屈折,多色性などの著しい光学的異方性を示す)を研究する結晶学の一部門。19世紀初めに実験的には英国のD.ブリュースター〔1781-1868〕,理論的にはフランスのフレネルによって基礎が確立。19世紀後半には偏光顕微鏡により観測技術が進展。結晶の対称性の知識の発達に貢献した。
