Hasanoğlu, E. (2007). On complex solutions of the eikonal equation. Paper presented at the 2007 International Conference on Electromagnetics in Advanced Applications, ICEAA'07, 641-644. doi:10.1109/ICEAA.2007.4387383Abstract
In 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.

Bayındır, Cihan; Özaydın, Fatih (Elsevier Science BV, 2018-04-15)We investigate the Zeno dynamics of the optical rogue waves. Considering their usage in modeling rogue wave dynamics, we analyze the Zeno dynamics of the Akhmediev breathers, Peregrine and Akhmediev-Peregrine soliton ... -
On the realization of optical mappings and transformation of amplitudes by means of an aspherical "thick" lens
Hasanoğlu, Elman; Polat, Burak Deniz (Gustav Fischer Verlag, 2000)The constraints for the realization of a given optical mapping by means of an aspherical ''thick" lens are investigated by using the laws of geometrical optics. The analysis yields us a partial differential equation which ...
