Explores birefringence in optics, polarizing light using materials with two refractive indices, and manipulating polarization states with wave plates and retarders.
Explores the generation and interpretation of elliptically polarized light in microscopy, including contrast enhancement techniques and Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) microscopy.
Explores dispersion in anisotropic media, covering k surface, uniaxial crystals, double refraction, beam walk-off, and applications of birefringent crystals.
Explores the radiative properties of small spheres, including Rayleigh scattering and absorption efficiencies, with a focus on Mie theory and particle characteristics.
