At the heart of the team's work is combining simulations in fundamental physics — including diffraction (scattering of light from interfaces), laser design (to approximate threshold currents at which a laser turns on), and materials science (designing and developing the multilayer ITO film).

The Raman effect relates to the inelastic scattering of light by matter. (sciencedaily.com)
The appearance of an object is strongly influenced by scattering of light inside the material. (sciencedaily.com)
