Efficient method for controlling the spatial coherence of a laser.
An efficient method to tune the spatial coherence of a degenerate laser over a broad range with minimum variation in the total output power is presented. It is based on varying the diameter of a spatial filter inside the laser cavity. The number of lasing modes supported by the degenerate laser can be controlled from 1 to 320,000, with less than a 50% change in the total output power. We show t...
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 کاملSpatial-coherence modulation for optical interconnections.
The spatial coherence of a laser beam depends on the number and the relative weights of the spatial modes supported by the laser waveguide. By electro-optic modulation of the cavity geometry, the spatial-coherence function can be modulated between zero and one at predictable locations across the beam and thus carry information. A simple integrated-optic interferometer is used to decode the sign...
متن کاملParametric microphone array spatial filter based on cross-pattern coherence
In this study, we propose an implementation of the cross-pattern coherence (CroPaC) spatialfiltering technique. This parametric algorithm utilizes the normalized cross-spectral density between signals from microphones of different orders as a criterion for focusing in specific directions and is implemented by using directional microphones placed in the same look direction and have the same magn...
متن کاملUltrahigh-resolution full-field optical coherence tomography using spatial coherence gating and quasi-monochromatic illumination.
We developed an ultrahigh-resolution full-field optical coherence tomography (FF-OCT) microscope that is based on the spatial, rather than the temporal, coherence gating. The microscope is capable of observing three-dimensional microbiological structures as small as 0.4 μm × 0.4 μm × 1.0 μm (xyz) using quasi-monochromatic light and a liquid crystal retarder. Unlike traditional FF-OCT systems, t...
