Beam coherence–polarization matrix
We present an approach for describing the properties of a quasi-monochromatic, beam-like field that is both partially polarized and partially coherent from the spatial standpoint. It is based on the use of a single 2× 2 matrix, called the beam coherence–polarization matrix, whose elements have the form of mutual intensities. This approach, which can be viewed as an approximate form of Wolf’s ge...
متن کاملSpatial coherence and optical beam shifts.
A beam of light, reflected at a planar interface, does not follow perfectly the ray optics prediction. Diffractive corrections lead to beam shifts; the reflected beam is displaced (spatial Goos-Hänchen type shifts) and/or travels in a different direction (angular Imbert-Fedorov type shifts), as compared to geometric optics. How does the degree of spatial coherence of light influence these shift...
متن کاملPolarization singularities of focused, radially polarized fields.
The state of polarization of strongly focused, radially polarized electromagnetic fields is examined. It is found that several types of polarization singularities exist. Their relationship is investigated, and it is demonstrated that on smoothly varying a system parameter, such as the aperture angle of the lens, different polarization singularities can annihilate each other. For example, the ev...
متن کاملEfficient radially polarized laser beam generation with a double interferometer.
Conversion of a linearly polarized CO(2) laser beam into a radially polarized beam is demonstrated with a novel double-interferometer system. The first Mach-Zehnder interferometer converts the linearly polarized input beam into two beams with sin(2) θ and cos(2) θ intensity profiles, where θ is the azimuthal angle. This is accomplished by using two spiral-phase-delay plates with opposite handed...
