Binary Representations of ABCD Matrices
نویسنده
چکیده
The ABCD matrix is one of the essential mathematical instruments in optics. It is the two-by-two representation of the group Sp(2), which is applicable to many branches of physics, including squeezed states of light, special relativity and coupled oscillators. It is pointed out that the shear representation is oriented to binary logic which may be friendly to computer applications. While this is a future possibility, it is known that para-axial lens optics is based on the shear representation of the Sp(2) group. It is pointed out that the most general form of the ABCD matrix can be written in terms of six shear matrices, which correspond to lens and translation matrices. The parameter for each shear matrix is computed in terms of the three independent parameters of the ABCD matrix.

متن کاملUsing both Binary and Residue Representations for Achieving Fast Converters in RNS
In this paper, a new method is introduced for improving the efficiency of the Residue Number System, which uses both binary and residue representations in order to represent a number. A residue number system uses the remainder of the division in several different modules. Conversion of a number to smaller ones and carrying out parallel calculations on these numbers greatly increase the speed of...

متن کاملShear representations of beam transfer matrices.
The beam transfer matrix, often called the ABCD matrix, is one of the essential mathematical instruments in optics. It is a unimodular matrix whose determinant is 1. If all the elements are real with three independent parameters, this matrix is a 2 x 2 representation of the group Sp(2). It is shown that a real ABCD matrix can be generated by two shear transformations. It is then noted that, in ...
متن کاملQUASI-PERMUTATION REPRESENTATIONS OF SUZtTKI GROUP
By a quasi-permutation matrix we mean a square matrix over the complex field C with non-negative integral trace. Thus every permutation matrix over C is a quasipermutation matrix. For a given finite group G, let p(G) denote the minimal degree of a faithful permutation representation of G (or of a faithful representation of G by permutation matrices), let q(G) denote the minimal degree of a fai...
