Abstract
The report a theoretical study of the Cherenkov radiation emission in uniaxial optical materials. The formalism is based on the previous wor k of Muzicar (1961) whose results in terms of energetic properties of the emitted waves are corrected. This formalism is used to predict the Cherenkov radiation emission in a strongly birefringent sodium nitrat e crystal (NaNO3).
