Abstract
Ray tracing formulas in a plane-parallel uniaxial plate bounded by an isotropic medium is analyzed when the crystal axis lies in the incident plane, and when its orientation is arbitrary. We present the behavior of the critical angle for the extraordinary ray as a function of the crystal axis position with respect to the normal to the refracting surface.
