Description
In certain crystals entering light can be remitted with twice the frequency in a process called Rotational Anisotropy Second Harmonic Generation (RA-SHG). The polarization and propagation direction of this light depends strongly on the crystal's structure. By simulating this process computationally it is possible to observe the crystal structure based on the outgoing re-emitted light. This poster illustrates several crystals with specific structures and shows their corresponding properties of the re-emitted light.
