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 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...
متن کاملElementary functions: propagation of partially coherent light.
The theory of propagation of partially coherent light is well known, but performing numerical calculations still presents a difficulty because of the dimensionality of the problem. We propose using a recently introduced method based on the use of elementary functions [Wald et al. Proc. SPIE6040, 59621G (2005)] to reduce the integrals to two dimensions. We formalize the method, describe its inhe...
متن کاملPower-excitation diffraction tomography with partially coherent light.
Some consequences of using partially coherent fields in the recently proposed method of power-extinction diffraction tomography are analyzed. It is found that the method is very tolerant of short spectral coherence lengths. The spectral coherence length of the field is shown to set the scale of a low-pass filter that acts on the subject. The implications of these results for implementation of t...
متن کاملPropagation of partially coherent light with the Maxwell–Debye equation
We deal with the propagation of broadband Schell-model sources in nonlinear media with finite relaxation time. The approach is based on a study of the Wigner distribution function and on a separation of scales technique between the microscopic random fluctuations of the field and the macroscopic intensity profile. The regime in which the nonlinearity is strong and slow is considered. Precise re...
