Homework Statement

In my optics class, we have an paper to write that has to be an extension of something we've done in class. I can't list everything we've done, but it's probably safe to assume that we've covered it if it has to do with optics.

I want to do something relevant to today, an optical topic that is currently being applied in new ways. If not, then something else well established.

Thanks!

If it's interesting for you, you could try writing on how thin films are used today and the principles behind them. Scientists are still creating novel thin films for solar panels, lenses etc.
I also know NASA is experimenting with many optics topics, you could take a look and see if anything looks promising. Just an idea ;)
