      abstract     = {We revisit birefringence effects associated with the
                      evolution of the polarization of light as it propagates
                      through axion dark matter or the background of a passing
                      gravitational wave (GW). We demonstrate that this can be
                      described by a unified formalism, highlighting a synergy
                      between searches for axions and high-frequency GWs. We show
                      that by exploiting this framework, the optical cavities used
                      by the ALPS II experiment can potentially probe axion masses
                      in the range $m_a \sim 10^{-9} - 10^{-6} \, \mathrm{eV}$,
                      offering competitive sensitivity with existing laboratory
                      and astrophysical searches. Also building on this approach,
                      we propose using these optical cavities to search for
                      high-frequency GWs by measuring changes in the polarization
                      of their laser. This makes it a promising method for
                      exploring, in the near future, GWs with frequencies above
                      $100$ MHz and strain sensitivities on the order of $10^{-14}
                      \, \mathrm{Hz}^{-1/2}$. Such sensitivity allows the
                      exploration of currently unconstrained parameter space,
                      complementing other high-frequency GW experiments. This work
                      contributes to the growing community investigating novel
                      approaches for high-frequency GW detection.},
