Inferring potential landscapes from noisy trajectories of particles within an optical feedback trap

open access: yesiScience, 2022
Summary: While particle trajectories encode information on their governing potentials, potentials can be challenging to robustly extract from trajectories.

Statistics of interacting optical solitons [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2001
We examine statistics of two interacting optical solitons and describe timing jitter caused by spontaneous emission noise and enhanced by pulse interaction. Dynamics of phase difference is shown to be of crucial importance in determining the probability distribution function (PDF) of the distance between solitons.

Introduction to the Special Issue on Structured Light Coherence

open access: yesPhotonics, 2021
Statistical optics, and optical coherence in particular, developed into a stand-alone branch of physical optics in the second half of the 20th century and has found a number of ground-breaking applications in astronomical measurements, medical ...

Controlling the Spatial Coherence of an Optical Source Using a Spatial Filter

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2018
This paper presents the theory for controlling the spectral degree of coherence via spatial filtering. Starting with a quasi-homogeneous partially coherent source, the cross-spectral density function of the field at the output of the spatial filter is ...

Besinc Pseudo-Schell Model Sources with Circular Coherence

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
Partially coherent sources with non-conventional coherence properties present unusual behaviors during propagation, which have potential application in fields like optical trapping and microscopy.

Parameters estimation in quantum optics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We address several estimation problems in quantum optics by means of the maximum-likelihood principle. We consider Gaussian state estimation and the determination of the coupling parameters of quadratic Hamiltonians.

Vortex preserving statistical optical beams

open access: yesOptics Express, 2020
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 system. We illustrate our results by introducing a class of partially coherent vortex beams with a closed form cross-spectral density at the source and demonstrating the

Atmosphere-like turbulence generation with surface-etched phase-screens [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We built and characterized an optical system that emulates the optical characteristics of an 8m-class telescope like the Very Large Telescope. The system contains rotating glass phase-screens to generate realistic atmosphere-like optical turbulence, as ...

Positive-negative nonlocal lensless imaging based on statistical optics

open access: yes, 2013
Based on correlated imaging with pseudo-thermal light, Wu and Meyers independently experimentally showed that both positive and negative images can be obtained by using a novel algorithm.

Out-of-horizon correlations following a quench in a relativistic quantum field theory

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2020
One of the manifestations of relativistic invariance in non-equilibrium quantum field theory is the “horizon effect” a.k.a. light-cone spreading of correlations: starting from an initially short-range correlated state, measurements of two observers at ...
