Modeling Anisotropy and Crystals in VirtualLab Fusion
We know how important polarization effects are in modern optics. They can be anything from detrimental side effects not initially taken into account by a design to a desired feature of a specific setup, with the vectorial behavior offering new degrees of freedom for the design process. And generally, if we talk about polarization, sooner or later we will be talking about crystals and anisotropy in general.
