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

Structured light has rich adjustable spatial degrees of freedom, including amplitude, phase,
polarization, degree of coherence, etc. The modulation of these degrees of freedom has …

Representation of the cross-spectral density (CSD) function of an optical source or beam as
the incoherent superposition of mutually uncorrelated modes are widely used in imaging …

One of the most prominent features of quantum entanglement is its invariability under local
unitary transformations, which implies that the degree of entanglement or nonseparability …

Focusing of a vectorial (electromagnetic) optical beam through a high numerical aperture
can be investigated by means of the Richards–Wolf diffraction integral. However, such an …

Polarimetric dimension and nonregularity are newly introduced concepts that characterize
three-dimensional (3D) polarization states of light. We analyze the spectral polarimetric …

We establish a general form of the cross-spectral density of statistical sources that generate
vortex preserving partially coherent beams on propagation through any linear ABCD optical …

We develop a general coherent (pseudo)-mode representation of partially coherent surface
plasmon polaritons in the Kretschmann excitation geometry. We obtain explicit analytical …

An explicit expression is given for the cross-spectral density that characterizes a new family
of partially coherence sources with hyperbolic sine correlated function. Beam conditions for …

A modified angular spectrum algorithm is presented for the diffraction calculation of partially
coherent beams propagating in optical systems. The proposed algorithm can directly …
