No Mirrors Required

Study light in scattering media at Slop University, from the crushed core to the canopy

A prospectus inviting students to study light in disordered media across all three of the University's Schools, taking the random laser, which needs no mirrors because its scattering medium supplies the feedback, as its picture of how a degree is built. It follows the work from a basement optics bench of dye-soaked crushed core, through measurement taken through rain and street-tree canopy, to an afterglow traced to what purification left behind, and features five published studies by title and DOI.
