The transfer matrix: a geometrical perspective
L. L. Sanchez-Soto, J. J. Monzon, A. G. Barriuso +1
We present a comprehensive and self-contained discussion of the use of the transfer matrix to study propagation in one-dimensional lossless systems, including a variety of examples…
Escherlike quasiperiodic heterostructures
A. G. Barriuso, J. J. Monzon, L. L. Sanchez-Soto +1
We propose quasiperiodic heterostructures associated with the tessellations of the unit disk by regular hyperbolic triangles. We present explicit construction rules and explore som…
Integral estimator of broadband omnidirectionality
A. G. Barriuso, J. J. Monzon, L. L. Sanchez-Soto +1
By using the notion of wavelength- and angle-averaged reflectance, we assess in a systematic way the performance of finite omnidirectional reflectors. We put forward how this conce…
Perfect antireflection via negative refraction
J. J. Monzon, A. G. Barriuso, L. L. Sanchez-Soto
We suggest a geometrical framework to discuss the action of slabs of negatively refracting materials. We show that these slabs generate the same orbits as normal materials, but tra…
Geometrical aspects of first-order optical systems
A. G. Barriuso, J. J. Monzon, L. L. Sanchez-Soto +1
We reconsider the basic properties of ray-transfer matrices for first-order optical systems from a geometrical viewpoint. In the paraxial regime of scalar wave optics, there is a w…
Comparing omnidirectional reflection from periodic and quasiperiodic one-dimensional photonic crystals
A. G. Barriuso, J. J. Monzon, L. L. Sanchez-Soto +1
We determine the range of thicknesses and refractive indices for which omnidirectional reflection from quasiperiodic multilayers occurs. By resorting to the notion of area under th…
