A rigorous coupled-wave analysis of birefringent holographic gratings with periodically-modulated dielectric tensor along an in-plane direction and tensor variations in the thickness direction
Masud Mansuripur, Per Kristen Jakobsen
Diffraction of light upon interaction with thick slabs of a dielectric material having a periodic modulation of its refractive index (or dielectric tensor) is typically studied wit…
Quantization of the electromagnetic field, entropy of an ideal monoatomic gas, and the birth of Bose-Einstein statistics
Masud Mansuripur
In 1924, Einstein received a short manuscript in the mail from the Indian physicist S.N. Bose. He quickly translated Bose's manuscript to German and submitted it to Zeitschrift für…
Fundamental principles and applications of nonlinear optical phenomena in classical and quantum electrodynamics
Masud Mansuripur
Nonlinear optical phenomena play important roles in the vast emerging fields of micro- and nano-technology. This paper describes the general characteristics of nonlinear optical ma…
Quantum fluctuations and noise in interferometry and photodetection: Applications in optical sensing and micromanipulation
Masud Mansuripur
Accurate optical sensing and micromanipulation requires sensitive measurements of the position, orientation, and dynamics of small particles--and sometimes even large objects--unde…
Does one still need to "shut up and calculate"?
Masud Mansuripur
In learning quantum mechanics, an essential question has always been: How does one go about developing a "physical feel" for quantum phenomena? Naturally, one needs a basis or grou…
The continuum limit of k-space cavity angular momentum is controlled by an infinite range difference operator
Per Kristen Jakobsen, Masud Mansuripur
A wavepacket (electromagnetic or otherwise) within an isotropic and homogeneous space can be quantized on a regular lattice of discrete k-vectors. Each k-vector is associated with…
On the quantum theory of light interacting with nano-materials
Masud Mansuripur
The fundamental processes of absorption, stimulated and spontaneous emission, and elastic as well as inelastic scattering involving light and atoms, molecules, and nano-particles h…
Electromagnetic angular momentum of quantized wavepackets in free space
Masud Mansuripur
A single electromagnetic plane-wave propagating in free space possesses neither spin nor orbital angular momentum. Both types of angular momentum arise from interference between pa…
On the Nature of the Sommerfeld-Brillouin Forerunners (or Precursors)
Per K. Jakobsen, Masud Mansuripur
We present a brief overview of Sommerfeld's forerunner signal, which occurs when a monochromatic plane-wave (frequency ω=ω_s) suddenly arrives, at time t=0 and at normal incidence,…
