论文摘要
尽管光学和力学是物理的两个不同的分支，但它们已连接。众所周知，光的几何/射线处理具有与粒子运动的机械描述的直接类比。但是，很少报道相干波光学和经典力学之间的连接。在这里，我们通过对两种光学相干性能进行定量分析来探索两者的链接：偏振和纠缠（由Huygens和Fresnel引起的光图）。获得了普遍的互补身份关系。更令人惊讶的是，光学极化，纠缠及其身份关系被证明与质量中心的机械概念和通过Huygens-Steiner定理的惯性矩和惯性矩相关，以进行刚体旋转。获得的结果桥通过两种huygens理论的相干波光学和经典力学。
While optics and mechanics are two distinct branches of physics, they are connected. It is well known that geometrical/ray treatment of light has direct analogies to mechanical descriptions of particle motion. However, connections between coherence wave optics and classical mechanics are rarely reported. Here we explore links of the two for an arbitrary light field by performing a quantitative analysis of two optical coherence properties: polarization and entanglement (implied by a wave picture of light due to Huygens and Fresnel). A universal complementary identity relation is obtained. More surprisingly, optical polarization, entanglement, and their identity relation are shown to be quantitatively associated with mechanical concepts of center of mass and moment of inertia through the Huygens-Steiner theorem for rigid body rotation. The obtained result bridges coherence wave optics and classical mechanics through the two theories of Huygens.
