Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) is a label-free, wide-field microscopy approach with
significant opportunities for biomedical applications. QPI uses the natural phase shift of light …

The techniques of optical beam sha** have enabled progress in a broad range of
interdisciplinary science and engineering, owing to the unique properties and promising …

Optical coherence is a fundamental characteristic of light that plays a significant role in
understanding interference, propagation, light–matter interaction, and other fundamental …

The ability to overcome the adverse effect induced by the obstacles within the transmission
link is a central challenge in long-distance optical image transmission and is significantly …

Over the last century, classical optical coherence has developed from a few vaguely related
concepts into a standing along branch of optics and, more broadly, electromagnetics, that …

It has been over 30 years since the concept of optical vortices was first proposed by Coullet
et al. in 1989, and the field of structured beams has grown extremely. In the last two …

In the recent decade, the rotational Doppler effect has garnered considerable attention for
stimulating the development of applications such as rotational Doppler velocity and …

This monograph overviews classic and recent developments in theoretical statistical optics
in connection with stationary and non-stationary (pulsed) optical source characterization and …

Optical encryption strategies utilizing fully coherent light have been widely explored but
often face challenges such as speckle noise and beam instabilities. In this work, we …

We introduce an optical system for the nearly real-time generation of a wide class of partially
coherent sources (PCSs) having non-Schell-model circular coherence. The system is …
