Conical diffraction : complexifying Hamilton's diabolical legacy
The propagation of light along singular directions in anisotropic media teems with rich asymptotic phenomena that are poorly understood. We study the refraction and diffraction of light beams through crystals exhibiting biaxial birefringence, optical activity, and dichroism. The optical properties a...
