Structure of the set of paraxial optical systems.

چکیده
The set of paraxial optical systems is the manifold of the group of symplectic matrices. The structure of this group is nontrivial: It is not simply connected and is not of an exponential type. Our analysis clarifies the origin of the metaplectic phase and the inherent limitations for optical map fractionalization. We describe, for the first time to our knowledge, an image girator and a cross girator whose geometric and wave implementations are of interest.

Hamiltonian orbit structure of the set of paraxial optical systems.
In the paraxial regime of three-dimensional optics, two evolution Hamiltonians are equivalent when one can be transformed to the other modulo scale by similarity through an optical system. To determine the equivalence sets of paraxial optical Hamiltonians one requires the orbit analysis of the algebra sp(4, R) of 4 x 4 real Hamiltonian matrices. Our strategy uses instead the isomorphic algebra ...

متن کاملImprovement of Optical Properties in Hexagonal Index-guiding Photonic Crystal Fiber for Optical Communications
Waveguides with low confinement loss, low chromatic dispersion, and low nonlinear effects are used in optical communication systems. Optical fibers can also be employed in such systems. Besides optical fibers, photonic crystal fibers are also highly suitable transmission media for optical communication systems. In this paper, we introduce two new designs of index-guiding photonic crystal fiber ...
