• JOSA A, Vol. 30 Issue 5, pp.813-820 (2013)
• Sahin, Derya; Ilan, Boaz
• We propose a generalization of radiative transport theory to account for light propagation in luminescent random media. This theory accounts accurately for the multiple absorption and...

• JOSA A, Vol. 30 Issue 5, pp.916-922 (2013)
• Shu, Jianhua; Chen, Ziyang; Pu, Jixiong
• The radiation force of highly focused partially coherent and radially polarized vortex beams on a Rayleigh particle is theoretically studied. The dependence of the radiation force on...

Nonstationary elementary-field light randomly triggered by Poisson impulses

• Abstract

• JOSA A, Vol. 30 Issue 5, pp.932-940 (2013)
• Fernández-Pousa, Carlos R
• A stochastic theory of nonstationary light describing the random emission of elementary pulses is presented. The emission is governed by a nonhomogeneous Poisson point process...

• Optics Letters, Vol. 38 Issue 10, pp.1721-1723 (2013)
• Huang, Jinxin; Lee, Kye-sung; Clarkson, Eric; Kupinski, Matthew; Maki, Kara L; Ross, David S; Aquavella, James V; Rolland, Jannick P
• In this Letter, we implement a maximum-likelihood estimator to interpret optical coherence tomography (OCT) data for the first time, based on Fourier-domain OCT and a two-interface...

Single-shot speckle reduction and dispersion compensation in optical coherence tomography by compounding fractional Fourier domains

• Abstract

• Optics Letters, Vol. 38 Issue 11, pp.1787-1789 (2013)
• Lippok, Norman; Nielsen, Poul; Vanholsbeeck, Frédérique
• We present speckle suppression and dispersion compensation for Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography based on fractional Fourier transforms of a single A scan. A 1.54-fold...

Experimental generation of partially coherent beams with different complex degrees of coherence

• Abstract

• Optics Letters, Vol. 38 Issue 11, pp.1814-1816 (2013)
• Wang, Fei; Liu, Xianlong; Yuan, Yangsheng; Cai, Yangjian
• We established an experimental setup for generating partially coherent beams with different complex degrees of coherence, and we report experimental generation of an elliptical...

Phase–space non-paraxial propagation modes of optical fields in any state of spatial coherence

• Abstract
•  | Full Text: PDF
• 

• Optics Express, Vol. 21 Issue 9, pp.11276-11293 (2013)
• Castañeda, Román; Muñoz, Hernán
• The non-paraxial marginal power spectrum is decomposed in propagation modes, so that the zeroth-order mode is only emitted by the radiant point sources at the aperture plane, while the...

Spatial coherence of broad-area laser diodes

• Abstract
•  | Full Text: PDF

• Applied Optics, Vol. 52 Issue 14, pp.3221-3228 (2013)
• Partanen, Henri; Tervo, Jani; Turunen, Jari
• We model the spatial coherence of broad-area laser diodes (BALDs) by representing the mutual intensity as superpositions of individually fully coherent but mutually uncorrelated...
