Explores dispersion in anisotropic media, covering k surface, uniaxial crystals, double refraction, beam walk-off, and applications of birefringent crystals.
Explores birefringence in optics, polarizing light using materials with two refractive indices, and manipulating polarization states with wave plates and retarders.
Explores electromagnetic waves in dielectric media, including linear, isotropic, and anisotropic behavior, as well as the nonlinear characteristics of polarization.
Covers the principles and applications of Brillouin Light Scattering for characterizing magnetic materials, including spin waves and magnon band structure.
Explores the generation and interpretation of elliptically polarized light in microscopy, including contrast enhancement techniques and Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) microscopy.
