Geometrical aspects in optical wave-packet dynamics.
We construct a semiclassical theory for propagation of an optical wave packet in a nonconducting medium with a periodic structure of dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability, i.e., a nonconducting photonic crystal. We employ a quantum-mechanical formalism in order to clarify its link to those of electronic systems. It involves the geometrical phase, i.e., Berry's phase, in a natural wa...
متن کاملGeometrical aspects of superbrane dynamics
The geometrical (superembedding) approach is used as a tool for deriving from the worldvolume dynamics of superbranes field theoretical models exhibiting partial supersymmetry breaking. In this way we obtain nonlinear actions for Goldstone superfields associated with physical degrees of freedom of the superbranes.
متن کاملGeometrical aspects of first-order optical systems
We reconsider the basic properties of ray-transfer matrices for firstorder optical systems from a geometrical viewpoint. In the paraxial regime of scalar wave optics, there is a wide family of beams for which the action of a raytransfer matrix can be fully represented as a bilinear transformation on the upper complex half-plane, which is the hyperbolic plane. Alternatively, this action can be a...
متن کاملExtended Gaussian wave packet dynamics
Wave packet dynamics has exposed interesting new phenomena in several fields. In femto-chemistry [1,2] we are now able to time-resolve chemical processes and also observe effects such as the breakup and revival of wave packets [3]. In atom optics wave packets are used to model matter waves [4] and electron wave packets are seen in the dynamics of Rydberg atoms [5]. The numerical modelling of wa...
متن کاملSymplectic semiclassical wave packet dynamics
The paper gives a symplectic-geometric account of semiclassical Gaussian wave packet dynamics. We employ geometric techniques to “strip away” the symplectic structure behind the time-dependent Schrödinger equation and incorporate it into semiclassical wave packet dynamics. We show that the Gaussian wave packet dynamics of Heller is a Hamiltonian system with respect to the symplectic structure, ...
