In addition to a plethora of emergent phenomena, the spatial topology of optical vortices enables an array of applications spanning communications to quantum photonics. Nonlinear optics is essential in this context, providing access to an…
In this paper the equations of motion associated with a Lagrangian inspired by relativistic optics in nonuniform moving media are considered. The model describes optical effects in the nonuniform dispersionless moving medium. When using the…
The optical Faraday effect describes the rotation of linear polarization upon propagation through a medium in the presence of a longitudinal magnetic field. The effect arises from a different phase delay between the right and left handed…
A light-front Hamiltonian reproducing the results of two-dimensional quantum electrodynamics in the Lorentz coordinates is constructed using the bosonization procedure and an analysis of the bosonic perturbation theory in all orders in the…
Paraxial diffraction of monochromatic Gaussian beams by arbitrarily shaped polygonal apertures is analytically explored within the boundary diffraction wave theory framework. Exact closed-form expressions of the diffracted wavefield are…
In this paper, we have constructed the Feynman path integral method for non-paraxial optics. This is done by using the mathematical analogy between a non-paraxial optical system and the generalized Schr\"odinger equation deformed by the…
Conventional caustic methods in real or Fourier space produced accelerating optical beams only with convex trajectories. We develop a superposition caustic method capable of winding light beams along non-convex trajectories. We ascertain…
Variational (Rayleigh-Ritz) methods are applied to local quantum field theory. For scalar theories the wave functional is parametrized in the form of a superposition of Gaussians and the expectation value of the Hamiltonian is expressed in…
We present an algorithm for holographic shaping of partially coherent light, bridging the gap between traditional coherent and geometric optical approaches. The description of partially coherent light relies on a mode expansion formalism,…
In this work, we summarize the current state of understanding of lateral displacement and angular deviations of an optical beam propagating through dielectric blocks. In part I, the analytical formulas, found for critical incidence, are…
A method to probe the guiding characteristics of waveguides formed in real-time is proposed and evaluated. It is based on the analysis of the time dependent light distribution observed at the exit face of the waveguide while progressively…
The Transfer Matrix Method (TMM) is a widely used technique for modeling linear propagation of electromagnetic waves through stratified layered media. However, since its extension to inhomogeneous and nonlinear systems is not…
A fiber-based photonic lantern can couple an array of single-mode optical fibers to the guided modes of a multimode fiber, with the mapping between the single-mode fibers and guided modes fully described by a complex-valued transfer matrix.…
X-ray parametric down-conversion is a fundamental nonlinear effect that promises a wide range of possible applications. Nevertheless, it has been scarcely investigated and unequivocal evidence of the effect is still missing for certain…
We construct a two-dimensional tight-binding model of an optical lattice, where the low energy excitations should be described by the spin-1 Maxwell equations in the Hamiltonian form, and such linear dispersion excitations with pesudospin-1…
A "genuinely" paraxial version of Miyamoto-Wolf's theory aimed at dealing with sharp-edge diffraction under Gaussian beam illumination is presented. The theoretical analysis is carried out in such a way the well known Young-Maggi-Rubinowicz…
We propose a wave operator method to calculate eigenvalues and eigenvectors of large parameter-dependent matrices, using an adaptative active subspace. We consider a hamiltonian which depends on external adjustable or adiabatic parameters,…
The discovery of relativistic spin-1/2 fermions such as Dirac and Weyl fermions in condensed-matter or artificial systems opens a new era in modern physics. An interesting but rarely explored question is whether other relativistic spinal…
We perform a theoretical investigation into the classical and quantum dynamics of an optical field in a cavity containing a moving membrane ("membrane-in-the-middle" set-up). Our approach is based on the Maxwell wave equation, and…
As a low-energy effective theory on non-symmorphic lattices, we consider a generic triple point fermion Hamiltonian which is parameterized by an angular parameter $\lambda$. We find strong $\lambda$ dependence in both Drude and interband…
