TLDR
In this article, the electric field vectors of the ordinary and extraordinary modes produced when plane waves of p or s polarization are incident on an arbitrary face of a uniaxial crystal are found.Abstract:
Explicit formulae are found for the electric field vectors of the ordinary and extraordinary modes produced when plane waves of p or s polarization are incident on an arbitrary face of a uniaxial crystal. The angle of incidence is unrestricted, and the anisotropic medium may be absorbing. The reflection amplitudes rpp, rps, rss, rsp, the transmission amplitudes tpo, tpe,tso,tse, and the wavevector and ray directions are then determined in terms of the direction cosines of the optic axis relative to the laboratory axes.read more

Organic Photovoltaics over Three Decades.
TL;DR: The author has stayed with the topic of organic materials for energy conversion and energy storage during these three decades, and makes use of the Hall of Fame now built by Advanced Materials, to present his view of the path travelled over this time, including motivations, personalities, and ambitions.

Optical properties of isotropic chiral media
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the optical properties of isotropic chiral media, based on the symmetrized constitutive relations of Condon, is given, which includes discussion of wave propagation in chir media, and derivation of the reflection and transmission amplitudes of an isotropically optically active medium, and of a layer resting on a substrate.

Ellipsometry and polarized light
TL;DR: In this article, the polarization of light waves and propagation of polarized light through polarizing optical systems are discussed. But the authors focus on the application of ellipsometry in the field of measurement in ellipsometer systems.
