• The optical singularities of birefringent dichroic chiral crystals (2003, background): “For certain directions R, however, the polarizations are purely right-handed (dL = 0) or purely left-handed (dR = 0). These are the C points (Nye 1983a; Berry & Dennis 2001; Dennis 2002; Berry 2001), alternatively characterized by the vector dstereographic or dpolar being nilpotent.”
