Relation between the Statistical Representations of Real and Associated Complex Fields in Optical Coherence Theory

Journal of Mathematical Physics, 1972
In the general theory of optical coherence, the following problem discussed in the present paper, arises: to determine the statistical properties of a field represented by an analytic signal from the knowledge of the statistical properties of the corresponding real field.

First- and second-order statistics of partially coherent, high-numerical-aperture optical fields

Optics Letters, 2008
The intensity probability distribution as well as the cross-spectral density of partially coherent optical fields generated through high-numerical-aperture illuminations are analyzed, and novel effects, not apparent in paraxial optical fields, are described.

Optical coherence properties of collective molecular systems: A comparison of the statistical and quantum approaches

The Journal of Chemical Physics, 1981
The formalism of collective (Dicke-like) states and operators is used to describe the relaxation of the initially prepared state of a material in the presence of a laser field. The material states are shown to be expressible as minimum uncertainty wave packets formed from those special collective states that couple with the radiation field. It is shown

Quantifying temperature changes in tissue-mimicking fluid phantoms using optical coherence tomography and envelope statistics

SPIE Proceedings, 2014
Several therapies make use of a hypo or hyperthermia tissue environment to induce cell death in both benign and malignant tumors. Current progression in optical technologies, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) sensors, could potentially provide viable information to explore the response of tissue when these ...

OPTICAL COHERENCE OF A SCALAR WAVE INFLUENCED BY FIRST-ORDER AND SECOND-ORDER STATISTICS OF ITS RANDOM PHASE

Fluctuation and Noise Letters, 2008
We analyze a simple model of a scalar optical wave with partial coherence. The model is devised to describe the influence on the coherence of the wave, of the statistical properties of its random phase, including both the second-order statistics (phase correlation) — which is classic, but also the first-order statistics (phase distribution) — which is

Simultaneous measurement of lipid and aqueous layers of tear film using optical coherence tomography and statistical decision theory

SPIE Proceedings, 2014
The prevalence of Dry Eye Disease (DED) in the USA is approximately 40 million in aging adults with about $3.8 billion economic burden. However, a comprehensive understanding of tear film dynamics, which is the prerequisite to advance the management of DED, is yet to be realized.

Optical properties of semiconductors via pump-probe experiments: statistical-thermodynamical approach, hot plasma and coherent phonon states

Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2000
We present an analysis of the nonequilibrium thermodynamics and, mainly, a response function theory for the study of optical properties in ultrafast-spectroscopy pump-probe experiments. These experiments give rise to the formation of a photoinjected plasma in semiconductors in far-from-equilibrium conditions.

Classical theory of sum-frequency generation by coherent nonlinear optical mixing of coherent and chaotic radiations II. Conserved statistics solution

Czechoslovak Journal of Physics, 1981
The problem of nonlinear optical sum-frequency generation and second harmonic generation is solved by a method neglecting changes of statistics of generating radiations. It is shown here that the increase of fluctuation levels in subfrequency radiations reduces the total efficiency of the sum-frequency generation, whilst in the degenerate case the ...

Quantum Statistics of Quadratic Optical Parametric Processes with Intense Coherent or Stochastic Pumping: Equations of motion and their solutions

Optica Acta: International Journal of Optics, 1981
A unified treatment of the description of the statistical dynamical properties of two-mode quadratic optical parametric processes with intense coherent or stochastic pumping (parametric amplification, frequency conversion, second subharmonic generation, etc. as special cases are involved) including the lossy mechanism is developed.

Use of a partially coherent transmitter beam to improve the statistics of received power in a free-space optical communication system: theory and experimental results

Optical Engineering, 2011
Controlling the spatial coherence of the transmitted beam has been suggested as a means of improving the statistics of the received power in long-range free-space optical communications systems. We present an experiment demonstrating the concept of transmitting a partially spatial coherent beam through a turbulent path in a lab setting to overcome long-
