Coherence and visibility for vectorial light.
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Polarization 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 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 کاملEfficient From-Point Visibility for Global Illumination in Virtual Scenes with Participating Media
Visibility determination is one of the fundamental building blocks of photorealistic image synthesis. Light reflected at a shading point depends on light reflected from the visible scene surfaces and on the visible light sources in the environment. However, computing visibility is computational highly demanding and global illumination algorithms, such as final gathering and bias compensation fo...
متن کاملSoft shadows from extended light sources with penumbra deep shadow maps
This paper presents a new method of precomputing highquality soft shadows that can be cast on a static scene as well as on dynamic objects added to that scene. The method efficiently merges the visibility computed from many shadow maps into a penumbra deep shadow map (PDSM) structure. The resulting structure effectively captures the changes of attenuation in each PDSM pixel, and therefore const...
