Birefringent crystalline materials are essential in advanced optical technologies such as isolators and modulators due to their ability to manipulate light polarization. However, designing high-performance birefringent materials with a birefringence value (Δn > 0.3) is challenging. Achieving superior optical anisotropy requires identifying functional groups with strong polarizability anisotropy and optimizing their arrangement in the crystal lattice.
