Following the theoretical approach of Bansigir and Iyengar, an expression for the stress-optical coefficient q44 is developed. Using experimental values of q44, ionic polarizibilities of some ions are calculated. Also, the wavelengths at which q44 = 0 are evaluated for a few crystals. Both ionic polarizibilities and reversal wavelengths are found to be in good agreement with reported values.
