Work out the details of the hyperfine Hamiltonian as discussed in Chapter 5 of Jackson.
Work out the details of Jackson problem 7.2 and related problems.
Work out the details of reflection and refraction from birefringent materials.
Analyze the Kramers-Kronig transform of some optical data or calculations.
Determine the classical electrodynamics associated with an infrared or optical laser.
Analyze the radiation intensity and spectrum from an interesting source such as an atomic or molecular transition, a free electron laser, etc.
