I wonder how orientation is just a single degree of freedom though; somehow one of the polarization directions of the light must get lost along the way.

- vlasev 13y agoPerhaps it is because this is a crystal and there is a relationship or redundancy between the different axes of orientation. EDIT: Actually, this [1] paper says in the abstract that they use wavelength, polarization and the three spatial dimensions. So it is wavelength and not direction!
