Best Answer

Certain substances will split a ray of light into two slightly different paths by polarisation. If a crystal transmits light without splitting it in this way when the light is incident on the crystal in only one direction then the crystal is said to be uniaxial. If light is transmitted when it is incident in either of two directions then the crystal is said to be biaxial.
