A Theoretical and Experimental Study of Optical Fibers
A geometrical treatment has been used to outline the theoretical properties of optical fibers which are imperfect as well as geometrically and optically perfect. Experiments have been performed to measure some to the optical properties of individual fibers and fiber bundles.

Conical Refraction in Crystal Optics and Hydromagnetics
When light propagates with the wave normal in the direction of an optic axis of a biaxial crystal, the usual ray theory breaks down. This phenomenon can be analyzed by means of an asymptotic solution of Maxwell's equations. The intensity is governed by a partial differential equation within the phase surfaces, instead of ordinary differential equations along rays. This example slows that light does not always propagate along rays. A similar phenomenon occurs in hydromagnetics.
