• Reflection and Refraction at anisotropic interfaces (Yeh's formalism, Berreman formalism, special cases, Euler orientation representations, example spectra etc.)
• Dispersion relations in isotropic and anisotropic crystals (Lorentz-model, coupled oscillator model, semi-empirical 4-Parameter model, inverse dielectric function modelling etc.)
• Dispersion analysis of crystals and layered systems down to triclinic symmetry and, ultimately, without prior knowledge of orientation;
• consequences for randomly-oriented or partly-oriented systems.

The students will acquire an understanding how the optical properties of
anisotropic materials are connected with the material properties and
how they depend on frequency. The final goal is to be able to
quantitatively understand and analyze spectral patterns of crystals and
layers of arbitrary symmetry and orientation.
