Now considering the phase matching condition, for certain directions<br />

of light propagation in uniaxial and biaxial crystals, the phase matching can<br />

occur between the polarizing wave, traveling with velocity<br />

For these certain directions the coherence length becomes very<br />

large. However, the angular width over which phase matching takes place<br />

is usually very small and only a small fraction of the particles will have the<br />

correct orientation.<br />

In the vicinity of the phase-matched direction the coherence length is<br />
