X-ray sources are develo** rapidly and their coherent output is growing correspondingly.
The increased coherent flux from modern X-ray sources is being matched with an …

Since the invention of the laser there has been a growing interest in the random speckle
pattern that is generated when light from this highly coherent source is scattered by a rough …

F. GORI, G. GUATTARI and C. PADOVANI Propagation of coherent or partially coherent light in
the form of beams is of obvious impo Page 1 Volume 64, number 6 OPTICS COMMUNICATIONS …

The quantum statistical properties of radiation represent an important branch of modern
physics with rapidly increasing applications in spectroscopy, quantum generators of …

Ever since vortex beams were proposed, they are known for owning phase singularity and
carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM). In the past decades, coherent optics developed …

We introduce a new class of partially coherent axially symmetric Gaussian Schell-model
(GSM) beams incorporating a new twist phase quadratic in configuration variables. This …

The authors expound on non-traditional phenomena for transfer theory, which are
nevertheless of considerable interest in wave measurements, and bring the advances of …

Interference and diffraction phenomena of electromagnetic waves are usually described with
the aid of ideally coherent or ideally incoherent light beams. In the first case the amplitudes …

The question is raised as to whether the normalized spectrum of light remains unchanged
on propagation through free space. It is shown that for sources of a certain class that …

In this paper the Wigner distribution function has been introduced for optical signals and
systems. The Wigner distribution function of an optical signal appears to be in close …
