چکیده

We show experimentally that the effects of pulse delay and advancement usually ascribed to the "slow and fast light" under conditions of the coherent population oscillations (CPO) can be universally observed with incoherent light fields on objects with the pure-intensity nonlinearity. As a light source, we used an incandescent lamp and as objects for study, a photochromic glass and a thermochromic coating. The response of the objects to intensity modulation of the incident light reproduced in all details the commonly accepted experimental evidences of the "light with a negative group velocity" and "ultraslow light". Thus we show that observations of the pulse delay (advancement) and characteristic changes in the light intensity modulation spectrum are not enough to make conclusion about modification of the light group velocity in the medium.

Robust underwater imaging with fast broadband incoherent synthetic aperture sonar

Synthetic aperture techniques have been of interest to the sonar imaging community, but suffer from the problems of maintaining phase coherence and a slow mapping rate. The need for rigorous and accurate platform trajectory monitoring oAen increases the design and implementation costs as well as the hardware complexity. This paper examines incoherent processing techniques and shows their potent...

Incoherent solitons are partially coherent optical beams propagating without changing their shape in materials with a slow nonlinear response [1, 2]. Such nonlinear materials respond to the time averaged light intensity, which means that even though the phase of the partially coherent light beam fluctuates randomly, it still leads to a smooth light-induced refractive index change and subsequent...
