Constructing Fresnel reflection coefficients by ruler and compass
J. J. Monzon, L. L. Sanchez-Soto
A simple and intuitive geometical method to analyze Fresnel formulas is presented. It applies to transparent media and is valid for perpendicular and parallel polarizations. The ap…
Simple trace criterion for classification of multilayers
L. L. Sanchez-Soto, J. J. Monzon, T. Yonte +1
The action of any lossless multilayer is described by a transfer matrix that can be factorized in terms of three basic matrices. We introduce a simple trace criterion that classifi…
Fresnel coefficients as hyperbolic rotations
J. J. Monzon, L. L. Sanchez-Soto
We describe the action of a plane interface between two semi-infinite media in terms of a transfer matrix. We find a remarkably simple factorization of this matrix, which enables u…
Understanding multilayers from a geometrical viewpoint
T. Yonte, J. J. Monzon, L. L. Sanchez-Soto +2
We reelaborate on the basic properties of lossless multilayers. We show that the transfer matrices for these multilayers have essentially the same algebraic properties as the Loren…
Single-particle nonlocality and entanglement with the vacuum
G. Bjork, P. Jonsson, L. L. Sanchez-Soto
We propose a single-particle experiment that is equivalent to the conventional two-particle experiment used to demonstrate a violation of Bell's inequalities. Hence, we argue that…
Lie-type transformations and effective Hamiltonians in nonlinear quantum optics: applications to multilevel systems
A. B. Klimov, A. Navarro, L. L. Sanchez-Soto
We reelaborate on a general method for diagonalizing a wide class of nonlinear Hamiltonians describing different quantum optical models. This method makes use of a nonlinear deform…
