Abstract
We examine the preservation of Poisson brackets and commutation relati ons in contradirectional propagation. It is shown that the relation be tween the input and the output amplitudes is a canonical transformatio n. This result is translated to the quantum case where preservation of the commutation relations is demonstrated in the case of linear propa gation equations for the amplitudes.
