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 …

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 …

Random Light Beams: Theory and Applications contemplates the potential in harnessing
random light. This book discusses light matter interactions, and concentrates on the various …

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

We present an exact calculation of the cross-spectral density tensor of the near field
thermally emitted into free space by an opaque planar surface. The approach, based on …

We demonstrate theoretically that the spectra of electromagnetic emission of surface
systems can display remarkable differences in the near and the far zones. The spectral …

We showed in a recent report1 (see also refs 2–4) that the normalized spectrum of light will,
in general, change on propagation in free space. We also showed that the normalized …

This paper presents a review of research, both theoretical and experimental, concerning the
influence of coherence properties of fluctuating light sources and of correlation properties of …

We present an approach for describing the properties of a quasi-monochromatic, beam-like
field that is both partially polarized and partially coherent from the spatial standpoint. It is …

The most frequently used experimental techniques for measuring the spatial coherence
properties of classical light fields in the space–frequency and space–time domains are …
