The coherence length of superfluid neutron matter is calculated from the microscopic BCS wavefunction of a Cooper pair in momentum space making use of the Bonn meson-exchange potential. We find that the coherence length is proportional to the Fermi momentum-to pairing gap ratio, in good agreement with simple estimates used in the literature, and we establish the appropriate fitting constants us...

We evaluate the effect of diffraction-limited resolution of the optical system on the estimates of the coherence length of two-dimensional excitons deduced from the interferometric study of the exciton emission. The results are applied for refining our earlier estimates of the coherence length of a cold gas of indirect excitons in coupled quantum wells S. Yang et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 18740...

The spectral shape of a source is of prime importance in optical coherence imaging because it determines several aspects of image quality, especially longitudinal resolution. Wide spectral bandwidth, which provides short coherence length, is sought to obtain high-resolution imaging. To estimate longitudinal resolution, the spectral shape of a source is usually assumed to be Gaussian, although t...
