Relativistic ponderomotive Hamiltonian of a Dirac particle in a vacuum laser field
D. E. Ruiz, C. L. Ellison, I. Y. Dodin
We report a point-particle ponderomotive model of a Dirac electron oscillating in a high-frequency field. Starting from the Dirac Lagrangian density, we derive a reduced phase-spac…
First-principle variational formulation of polarization effects in geometrical optics
D. E. Ruiz, I. Y. Dodin
The propagation of electromagnetic waves in isotropic dielectric media with local dispersion is studied under the assumption of small but nonvanishing , where is the wavel…
Lagrangian geometrical optics of nonadiabatic vector waves and spin particles
D. E. Ruiz, I. Y. Dodin
Linear vector waves, both quantum and classical, experience polarization-driven bending of ray trajectories and polarization dynamics that can be interpreted as the precession of t…
On the correspondence between quantum and classical variational principles
D. E. Ruiz, I. Y. Dodin
Classical variational principles can be deduced from quantum variational principles via formal reparameterization of the latter. It is shown that such reparameterization is possibl…
