Geometrical 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 کاملFirst-order optical systems with unimodular eigenvalues.
It is shown that a lossless first-order optical system whose real symplectic ray transformation matrix can be diagonalized and has only unimodular eigenvalues is similar to a separable fractional Fourier transformer in the sense that the ray transformation matrices of the unimodular system and the separable fractional Fourier transformer are related by means of a similarity transformation. More...
متن کاملGeometrical 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 کاملDualities in integrable systems: geometrical aspects
We discuss geometrical aspects of different dualities in the integrable systems of the Hitchin type and its various generalizations. It is shown that T duality known in the string theory context is related to the separation of variables procedure in dynamical system. We argue that there are analogues of S duality as well as mirror symmetry in the many-body systems of Hitchin type. The different...
متن کاملGeometrical Aspects of Lie Groups Representations and Their Optical Applications
In this paper we present a new procedure to obtain unitary and irreducible representations of Lie groups starting from the cotangent bundle of the group (the cotangent group). We discuss some applications of the construction in quantumoptics problems.
