Fundamental properties of beam-splitters in classical and quantum optics
Masud Mansuripur, Ewan M. Wright
A lossless beam-splitter has certain (complex-valued) probability amplitudes for sending an incoming photon into one of two possible directions. We use elementary laws of classical…
Spin-1 photons, spin-1/2 electrons, Bell's inequalities, and Feynman's special perspective on quantum mechanics
Masud Mansuripur
The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox that argues for the incompleteness of quantum mechanics as a description of physical reality has been put to rest by John Bell's famous th…
Linear and angular momenta of photons in the context of "which path" experiments of quantum mechanics
Masud Mansuripur
In optical experiments involving a single photon that takes alternative paths through an optical system and ultimately interferes with itself (e.g., Young's double-slit experiment,…
Insights into the behavior of certain optical systems gleaned from Feynman's approach to quantum electrodynamics
Masud Mansuripur
Richard Feynman's method of path integrals is based on the fundamental assumption that a system starting at a point A and arriving at a point B takes all possible paths from A to B…
Ubiquity of Fourier Transformation in Optical Sciences (Part II)
Masud Mansuripur
This paper contains a transcript of my presentation at the Wyant Tribute Symposium on August 2, 2021 at SPIE's Optics & Photonics conference in San Diego, California. The technical…
Theoretical analysis of Fresnel reflection and transmission in the presence of gain media
Masud Mansuripur, Per K. Jakobsen
When a monochromatic electromagnetic plane-wave arrives at the flat interface between its transparent host (i.e., the incidence medium) and an amplifying (or gainy) second medium,…
