Coherence and visibility for vectorial light.
Two-path interference of transversal vectorial waves is embedded within a larger scheme: this is four-path interference between four scalar waves. This comprises previous approaches to coherence between vectorial waves and restores the equivalence between correlation-based coherence and visibility.
متن کاملPolarization and coherence for vectorial electromagnetic waves and the ray picture of light propagation
Alfredo Luis Departamento de Óptica, Facultad de Ciencias F́ısicas, Universidad Complutense, 28040 Madrid, Spain Abstract We develop a complete geometrical picture of paraxial light propagation including coherence phenomena. This approach applies both for scalar and vectorial waves via the introduction of a suitable Wigner function and can be formulated in terms of an inverted Huygens principle....
متن کاملPolarization ray picture of coherence for vectorial electromagnetic waves
We elucidate a ray picture of coherence for vectorial electromagnetic waves by using the Stokes parameters for light rays defined by the optical Wigner function. Paraxial propagation is formulated as a complementary Huygens principle. We show that the degrees of coherence are averages of the phase difference where the weights are the Stokes parameters for light rays. We analyze the van Cittert–...
متن کاملThe vectorial control of magnetization by light
Application of coherent light-matter interactions has recently been extended to the ultrafast control of magnetization. An important but unrealized technique is the manipulation of magnetization vector motion to make it follow an arbitrarily designed multidimensional trajectory. Here we demonstrate a full manipulation of two-dimensional magnetic oscillations in antiferromagnetic NiO with a pair...
متن کاملExploiting coherence in hierarchical visibility algorithms
We present a series of simple improvements that make use of temporal and spatial coherence in the scope of hierarchical visibility algorithms. The hierarchy updating avoids visibility tests of certain interior nodes of the hierarchy. The visibility propagation algorithm reuses information about visibility of neighbouring spatial regions. Finally, the conservative hierarchy updating avoids visib...
