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

Abstract Information encryption with optical technologies has become increasingly important
due to remarkable multidimensional capabilities of light fields. However, the optical …

Atmospheric turbulence can cause critical problems in many applications. To effectively
avoid or mitigate turbulence, knowledge of turbulence strength at various distances could be …

The deformation, flicker, and drift of a light field owing to complex media such as a turbulent
atmosphere have limited its practical applications. Thus, research on invariants in randomly …

Partially coherent beam is preferred in many applications, such as free-space optical
communications, remote sensing, active laser radar systems, etc., due to its resistance to the …

Twist phase is a nontrivial second-order phase that only exists in a partially coherent beam.
Such twist phase endows the partially coherent beam with orbital angular momentum (OAM) …

A technique is presented to produce any desired partially coherent Schell-model source
using a single phase-only liquid-crystal spatial light modulator (SLM). Existing methods use …

We undertake a computational and experimental study of an advanced class of structured
beams, partially coherent radially polarized vortex (PCRPV) beams, on propagation through …

The presence of atmospheric turbulence in a beam propagation path results in the spread of
orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes of laser beams, limiting the performance of free …
