Explores the generation and interpretation of elliptically polarized light in microscopy, including contrast enhancement techniques and Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) microscopy.
Explores the quantum description of light and tissue optical parameters, including the historical perspective, wave-particle duality, and the interaction between light and tissues.
Covers fundamental concepts in modern photonics, including ray optics, wave optics, polarization optics, material properties, plasmonics, and metamaterials.
Explores birefringence in optics, polarizing light using materials with two refractive indices, and manipulating polarization states with wave plates and retarders.
