Lorentz group in classical ray optics
Baskal, S; Georgieva, E; Kim, YS; Noz, ME (IOP Publishing, 2004-06-01)
It has been almost 100 years since Einstein formulated his special theory of relativity in 1905. He showed that the basic space-time symmetry is dictated by the Lorentz group. It is shown that this group of Lorentz transformations is not only applicable to special relativity, but also constitutes the scientific language for optical sciences. It is noted that coherent and squeezed states of light are representations of the Lorentz group. The Lorentz group is also the basic underlying language for classical r...
Lorentz and CPT violation in the Higgs sector
Anderson, DL; Sher, M; Turan, İsmail (2004-07-01)
Colladay and Kostelecky have proposed a framework for studying Lorentz and CPT violation in a natural extension of the standard model. Although numerous bounds exist on the Lorentz and CPT violating parameters in the gauge boson and fermion sectors, there are no published bounds on the parameters in the Higgs sector. We determine these bounds. The bounds on the CPT-even asymmetric coefficients arise from the one-loop contributions to the photon propagator, those from the CPT-even symmetric coefficients aris...
Lorentz group in polarization optics
Oktay, Onur; Baykal, Zübeyde Sibel; Department of Physics (2012)
The group theory allows one to study different branches of physics using the same set of commutation relations. It is shown that a formulation of the polarization optics that depends on the representations of the Lorentz group is possible. The set of four Stokes parameters, which is a standard tool of polarization optics, can be used to form a four-vector that is physically unrelated but mathematically equivalent to the space-time four-vector of the special relativity. By using the Stokes parameters, it is ...
Nonlinear Optical Properties of Low Dimensional Quantum Systems
Unal, V. Ustoglu; Tomak, Mehmet; Aksahin, E.; Zorlu, O. (2022-01-01)
Low dimensional semiconductor structures such as quantum wells, wires and dots demonstrate interesting nonlinear optical properties. The low dimensionality modulates the electronic structure leading to distinct nonlinear optical properties as compared to their bulk counterparts. In this review, we concentrate more on quantum wells and dots althoughwealso consider someworks on quantum wires. The nonlinear optical parameters such as the second and the third order susceptibilities are specifically discussed.
Hamilton-Jacobi theory of discrete, regular constrained systems
Güler, Y. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1987-8)
The Hamilton-Jacobi differential equation of a discrete system with constraint equationsG α=0 is constructed making use of Carathéodory’s equivalent Lagrangian method. Introduction of Lagrange’s multipliersλ˙α as generalized velocities enables us to treat the constraint functionsG α as the generalized momenta conjugate toλ˙α. Canonical equations of motion are determined.
