Explores the generation and interpretation of elliptically polarized light in microscopy, including contrast enhancement techniques and Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) microscopy.
Explores the theory of electric polarization and orbital magnetization in condensed matter physics, focusing on quantum aspects and topological insulators.
Explores birefringence in optics, polarizing light using materials with two refractive indices, and manipulating polarization states with wave plates and retarders.
