New effects in Young's interference experiment with partially coherent light.
We analyze the coherence properties of a partially coherent optical field emerging from two pinholes in a plane opaque screen. We show that at certain pairs of points in the region of superposition the light is fully coherent, regardless of the state of coherence of the light at the pinholes. In particular, this result also holds if each pinhole is illuminated by a different laser.
متن کاملQuantum lithography by coherent control of classical light pulses.
The smallest spot in optical lithography and microscopy is generally limited by diffraction. Quantum lithography, which utilizes interference between groups of N entangled photons, was recently proposed to beat the diffraction limit by a factor N. Here we propose a simple method to obtain N photons interference with classical pulses that excite a narrow multiphoton transition, thus shifting the...
متن کاملGhost ellipsometry using classical light
This thesis presents a new interferometric technique for the measurement of ellipsometric information by the means of classical ghost imaging. The technique relies on the use of light from a classical, spatially incoherent source with Gaussian statistics. The standard ghost-imaging configuration is modified for reflection measurements and polarizers are added to control the state of polarizatio...
متن کاملPropagation of Coherent Light Pulses with PHASE
The current status of the software package PHASE for the propagation of coherent light pulses along a synchrotron radiation beamline is presented. PHASE is based on an asymptotic expansion of the Fresnel-Kirchhoff integral (stationary phase approximation) which is usually truncated at the 2 order. The limits of this approximation as well as possible extensions to higher orders are discussed. Th...
متن کاملTailored Anderson localization with partially coherent light
Anderson localization and partially coherent light are at first sight unrelated, if one thinks in terms of interference. However, Anderson localization can be observed with non-coherent light, since a partially coherent beam can be viewed as a superposition of randomly phased components, which localize independently in a disordered media [1]. This gives rise to the question of how much transver...
