Tunneling in frustrated total internal reflection: a comparison of different approaches.
Tunneling processes in frustrated total internal reflection are reexamined in order to compare the results already obtained from adopting a procedure based on a transition-element analysis with those recently reported on the basis of a statistical method applied to a Brownian-like motion. A close agreement between the two approaches can be established, at optical and microwave scales, when suitable values of the involved parameters are adopted.
