Abstract ：Birefringence attracts increasing attention due to its extensive applications in the imaging spectrometer, laser devices and optical components. Stimulated by the discovery of the giant birefringence (GBF) in LaOBiS$_{2}$ and AFBiS$_{2}$, we explore its origin by checking three compounds with and without the BiS$_{2}$ layer: Bi$_{2}$OS$_{2}$ (i.e., BiOBiS$_{2})$, Bi$_{2}$O$_{2}$S and LaOAlS$_{2}$. It is demonstrated that GBF appears only in the compounds with the BiS$_{2}$ layer and is furthermore confirmed in $M$OBiS$_{2}$ ($M$=Al, Ga, In and Sc) compounds. The result is useful for discovering/developing new-type birefringent crystal or even multifunctional materials.
