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 …

Publisher Summary The widespread availability of spatially and temporally coherent laser
sources makes the production of optical vortices inevitable in any experiment involving …

The celebrated experiment of Thomas Young has had a tremendous historical influence by
revealing not only the wave character of light, but also by demonstrating the wave-particle …

In physics, wave propagation is traditionally analyzed by means of regular solutions of wave
equations. However, solutions of wave equations in two and three dimensions often possess …

Experimental and numerical techniques allowed us to predict and verify the existence of a
robust phase singularity in the spatial coherence function when a vortex is present. Though …

It is demonstrated that the spectral degree of coherence of a partially coherent beam may
possess isolated pairs of points at which its phase is singular, and that in the neighborhood …

Publisher Summary The general framework of optical coherence theory is now well
established and has been described in numerous publications. This chapter provides an …

Using a spatial light modulator to modify the phase of a light beam we create a spatially
coherent, white-light beam containing an optical vortex. All the spectral components are …

By controlling the irradiance of an extended quasimonochromatic, spatially incoherent
source, an optical field is generated that exhibits spatial coherence with phase singularities …
