title: Simple stochastic model for optical tunneling.
abstract: A simple model, derived from a Brownian-motion scheme, is capable of interpreting the results of delay-time measurements relative to frustrated total reflection experiments at the microwave scale but also in the visible region. In this framework we also obtain a plausible description of the trajectories (rays) inside the tunneling region, the air gap between two paraffin prisms.
