Explores birefringence in optics, polarizing light using materials with two refractive indices, and manipulating polarization states with wave plates and retarders.
Explores dispersion in anisotropic media, covering k surface, uniaxial crystals, double refraction, beam walk-off, and applications of birefringent crystals.
Covers the principles and applications of Brillouin Light Scattering for characterizing magnetic materials, including spin waves and magnon band structure.
