Interference with atomic and molecular matter waves is a rich branch of atomic physics and
quantum optics. It started with atom diffraction from crystal surfaces and the separated …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the self-imaging phenomenon and its
applications. The self-imaging phenomenon requires a highly spatially coherent …

When the first edition of Optical Interferometry was published, interferometry was regarded
as a rather esoteric method of making measurements, largely confined to the laboratory …

Advanced Topics in Shannon Sampling and Interpolation Theory is the second volume of a
textbook on signal analysis solely devoted to the topic of sampling and restoration of …

Insights into the micro-and nano-architecture of materials is crucial for understanding and
predicting their macroscopic behaviour. In particular, for emerging applications such as meta …

We present new methods and formulae for calculating the image amplitude and image
spatial power spectral density produced by monochromatic point-source illumination of a …

An apparatus for producing structured light comprises a first optical arrangement which
comprises a microlens array com prising a multitude of transmissive or reflective …

F. GORI In the Lau effect [I], an incoherently illuminated amplitude grating Gl (see fig. 1) with
grating constant d is followed Page 1 Volume 31, number 1 OPTICS COMMUNICATIONS …

It was recently shown that coherence theory provides a simple and elegant means of
interpreting and extending the Lau effect. The details of this analysis are presented along …

The so-called space-time analogy constitutes a source of inspiration to understand,
engineer, and implement new systems for ultrafast optical signal processing based on …
