Intensity interferometry is a promising technique that enables the precise measurement of spatial properties (i.e., distances, shapes and light properties) by probing fluctuations in the intensity (i.

Complex light modulation—controlling light’s amplitude and phase—is key to many laser applications such as optical tweezers and holographic displays. To achieve such modulation ...

The focusing process of an ultrashort second-order cylindrical vector beam by zone plates is simulated by applying the frequency-dependent finite-difference time-domain method. We demonstrated that ...

All-optical complex field imaging using diffractive processors. New UCLA imager acquires amplitude and phase in. Image Credit: University of California, Los Angeles Numerous industries, including ...

UCLA researchers introduced an all-optical complex field imager that captures both amplitude and phase information of optical fields using an intensity-based sensor array. This device employs ...

Nowadays, tailoring of an optical beam (e.g. controlling its phase, amplitude, and polarization) has moved into the spotlight because of its many applications in various areas of science and ...

The amplitude and phase modulation is used to introduce a seed beam into the cavity. We can evaluate the response function of the system to the amplitude and phase noise modulation, respectively, by ...
