^*In 1992 this paper reported, for the first time, on the link between quantum mechanics principles and classical angular dispersion as expressed via the generalized multiple-prism grating dispersion theory.

^**This 1997 paper derives the diffraction and refraction (Snell's law) using quantum mechanical principles.

^***This 2006 paper derives Snell's law for positive and negative refraction using quantum mechanics. The corresponding generalized multiple-prism dispersion equations are also given.
