Taking a slight tangent from classical optics, I decided to delve more into non-linear optics.

As someone who never had to use Gaussian form of Maxwell's equations, never used Tensors, and had never used Einsteins notation for summation; let me just say the algebra of the book proved to be a hard nut to crack!

What am I learning about? Anisotropy! Who knew that the direction at which you observe/propagate through a material such as a crystal plays a role in the material properties you will experience!!

I still don't believe you can determine eigenvalues and eigenvectors for an arbitrary 3x3 permittivity matrix (I need to use numerical examples to really see it) and that there exists rotational matricies that let us make the math all neat and proper.

But, slowly and with growing pains, I am continuing to slowly tread the waters of this fascinating topic!

“normalise lying” “normalise being weird” learn to normalise your probability distributions first actually

Had fun recreating a gaussian distribution graph with geo nodes. :) Fake UI inspired by Evangelion.
