Yayın A new theory of complex rays(Oxford Univ Press, 2004-12) Hasanoğlu, ElmanA new approach to the theory of complex rays is presented. It is shown that the three-dimensional Minkowski space, the variant of the well known four-dimensional space-time Minkowski space of the special theory of relativity, is more appropriate for describing both real and complex rays than the usual Euclidean space. It turns out that in this space complex rays, as real ones, may have quite definite directions and magnitudes. This allows us to understand the geometrical meaning of the complex magnitudes such as complex distances and complex angles, intensively discussed over the last several decades. From this point of view a new interpretation of the Gaussian beams and reflection laws is presented.Yayın On complex solutions of the eikonal equation(IEEE, 2007) Hasanoğlu, ElmanIn this paper a new approach of complex rays in an inhomogeneous medium is presented. Complex rays are complex solutions of the eikonal equation, the main equation of the geometical optics. It is shown that solving the eikonal equation by using the characteristic method naturally leads to the pseudoriemann and Minkowski geometries. In framework of these geometries complex rays , like the real ones, can be drawn in real space and they may have caustics, and caustics also can be drawn in real space.Yayın Beam tracing theory in Minkowski space(IEEE, 2011) Hasanoğlu, ElmanThis paper provides a novel approach to beam theory in homogeneous lossless mediun. The main idea is to interpret the classic eikonal equation in three dimensional Minkowski space.Yayın Complex rays and applications(Işık University Press, 2025-12-01) Hasanoğlu, ElmanComplex rays are a fascinating aspect of modern diffraction theory, typically sought as complex solutions to the eikonal equation. Traditionally, these solutions are obtained by analytically continuing real rays into the complex domain. However, this approach demands the analyticity of initial data, significantly limiting its applicability to many practical problems. Additionally, unlike real rays, complex rays cannot be visualized in space, presenting another drawback. In this paper, we present an alternative interpretation of complex rays, as introduced in [1], and describe a novel approach to two model diffraction problems and Gaussian beams.Yayın On the theory of single aspheric lenses(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Hasanoğlu, ElmanAspheric lenses play a pivotal role in a myriad of applications, including antenna theory, communication systems, sophisticated optical systems etc. These lenses, unlike their spherical counterparts, possess an infinite number of free parameters and by utilizing these parameters it is possible to achieve optical and antenna systems with very high and sophisticated performances. However, the lack of a rigorous mathematical theory essentially limits possibility to utilize their full potential in the related fields. In our days, the design process relies heavily on elementary mathematical principles and empirical methods [1-2]. Even a single thick aspheric lens lacks a comprehensive mathematical theory. In this paper a new mathematical approach to the theory of single lenses is proposed. Surprisingly, even in this seemingly straightforward case, the serious mathematical theory of a single aspherical lens relies on rather nontrivial mathematical principles as partial differential equations, differential geometry, Riemann geometry.
