Degree of coherence for electromagnetic fields.
The relationship between the visibility of fringes and the degree of spatial coherence in electromagnetic two-pinhole interference is assessed. It is demonstrated that the customary definition of the degree of coherence of an electromagnetic field is flawed and a new quantity, free of the formal drawbacks, is introduced. The new definition, which is shown to be consistent with known results for...
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 کاملPermutation Tests for Correlation between Two Distance Matrices
Biologists frequently summarize multivariate data from n populations by computing some measure of distance between populations. The problem then arises of comparing two such pairwise distance matrices based on different characters. A permutation test for correlation between distance matrices is proposed. This test, based on Kendall's tau statistic, is compared to Pearson's product-moment and Sp...
متن کاملConnection between electric and magnetic coherence in free electromagnetic fields.
We introduce quantitative measures for the description of the electric and magnetic coherence in a stationary, random electromagnetic field at two points, in a volume, and in the Fourier space. These quantities are applied to free electromagnetic fields, and several theorems regarding the relationship between the two types of coherences in such fields are established. Fields which are statistic...
متن کاملThe effects of electromagnetic fields on fish
The objective of this paper is to survey the results of studies on the biological effects of electromagnetic fields on fish. First, the basic concepts of electromagnetism and electromagnetic spectrum and the importance of studying it in the case of fish are discussed. Then a summary of the results obtained on the effects of extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) and radiofreq...
