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.
