. The two rays of light are each plane polarized by the calcite such that the planes of polarization are mutually perpendicular. ... The other ray (and any ray that does not obey Snell's Law) is an extraordinary ray (or E-ray).

⏩E-ray:
◼E-ray is the separation of a ray of light into two unequally refracted, plane-polarized rays of orthogonal polarizations, occurring in the crystals in which the velocity of light rays are not the same in all directions
⏩O-ray:
◼O-ray is the resolution or splitting of a light wave into two unequally reflected or transmitted waves by an optically anisotropic medium such as calcite or quartz.
