Digital generation of partially coherent vortex beams

Optics Letters, 2016
We present an experimental technique to generate partially coherent vortex beams with an arbitrary azimuthal index using only a spatial light modulator. Our approach is based on digitally simulating the intrinsic randomness of broadband light passing through a spiral phase plate.

Orbital angular momentum of partially coherent beams [PDF]

Optics Letters, 2001
The definition of the orbital angular momentum established for coherent beams is extended to partially coherent beams, expressed in terms of two elements of the beam matrix. This extension is justified by use of the Mercer expansion of partially coherent fields.

Bimetallic Nanoparticles as Cocatalysts for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Recent developments have introduced bimetallic nanoparticles as effective cocatalysts for photocatalytic systems. This review explores the rapidly expanding research on bimetallic cocatalysts for photocatalytic production of hydrogen, emphasizing the creation of carrier‐selective contacts, localized surface plasmon resonance effects, methodologies for ...

Full-dimensional complex coherence properties tomography for multi-cipher information security

Opto-Electronic Advances
Optical coherence is a fundamental property of light, playing a key role in understanding interference, propagation, and light-matter interactions for both classical and quantum light. Measuring the coherence properties of an optical field is crucial for

Generation of an Adjustable Optical Cage through Focusing an Apertured Bessel-Gaussian Correlated Schell-Model Beam

Applied Sciences, 2019
An adjustable optical cage generated by focusing a partially coherent beam with nonconventional correlation function named the Bessel⁻Gaussian correlated Schell-model (BGCSM) beam is investigated in detail. With the help of the generalized Huygens&#

Demonstration of an All‐Optical AND Gate Mediated by Photochromic Molecules

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A logic AND gate that runs on photons is demonstrated. It relies on two spatially separated photochromic molecules that work in tandem. Abstract The realization of a photonic logic AND gate, i.e. a logic AND gate that runs on photons rather than electrons, and where all steps are controlled by light, is demonstrated. In a proof‐of‐principle experiment,

Effect of atmospheric turbulence on propagation properties of optical vortices formed by using coherent laser beam arrays

, 2008
In this paper, we consider the effect of the atmospheric turbulence on the propagation of optical vertex formed from the radial coherent laser beam array, with the initially well-defined phase distribution.

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Cooperative atomic scattering of light from a laser with a colored noise spectrum

, 2009
The collective atomic recoil lasing is studied for an ultra-cold and collisionless atomic gas in a partially coherent pump with a colored noise. Compared to white noise, correlations in colored noise are found to be able to greatly enhance or suppress ...
