Three-dimensional coherence of light speckles: Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
We provide a detailed analysis of the three-dimensional spatial coherence properties of light speckles, based on very general assumptions. We show that, while in the deep Fresnel region close to the source the longitudinal coherence of speckles is ruled by the laws of ordinary diffraction, on approach to the Fraunhofer zone the longitudinal coherence length tends to become infinite. We offer both a quantitative and a qualitative description of the emergence of these different behaviors.

Three-dimensional coherence of light speckles: Experiment
We provide an experimental detailed study of the three-dimensional coherence properties of light speckles produced by different tunable pseudothermal sources. Our findings confirm the theoretical prediction of the companion article A. Gatti et al., Phys. Rev. A 78, 063806 2008 , according to which the longitudinal coherence of the speckles is ruled by ordinary diffraction laws only in the deep-...
متن کاملRereading the Interpretation of "There is no compulsion in religion"in the Light of the Theory of Coherence and Continuity of the Qur'an and Its Relation to Freedom of Religion and Belief
The Quranic sentence "There is no compulsion in religion" has been interpreted differently by commentators in different periods. Some has taken it as the permission for freedom of belief from the verse and some has considered it in conflict with the verses of fighting and apostasy. The distinction and diversity of the commentators' understanding of the verses of the Qur'an is related to the men...
متن کاملSpeckle suppression and companion detection using coherent differential imaging
Residual speckles due to aberrations arising from optical errors after the split between the wavefront sensor and the science camera path are the most significant barriers to imaging extrasolar planets. While speckles can be suppressed using the science camera in conjunction with the deformable mirror, this requires knowledge of the phase of the electric field in the focal plane.We describe a m...
متن کاملSpectral Subtraction: a New Approach to Remove Low- and High-order Speckle Noise
We present a novel ‘‘spectral subtraction algorithm’’ (SSA) technique to remove speckle noise. It consists of a loworder and a high-order SSA and is based on a three-dimensional image spectroscopy in which the three-dimensional data cube is available and thus the speckle noise introduced by the wave-front error can be efficiently subtracted. For the low-order SSA, speckles up to the second or t...
متن کاملDimensionality of random light fields
Background: The spectral polarization state and dimensionality of random light are important concepts in modern optical physics and photonics. Methods: By use of space-frequency domain coherence theory, we establish a rigorous classification for the electricfield vector to oscillate in one, two, or three spatial dimensions. Results: We also introduce a new measure, the polarimetric dimension, t...
