Refraction, traditionally viewed as a geometric event occurring at material interfaces, is now being re-examined through the lens of coherence. Recent studies in optics and photonics, including coherence tomography, Moire interference, and…

Optical singularities play a major role in modern optics and are frequently deployed in structured light, super-resolution microscopy, and holography. While phase singularities are uniquely defined as locations of undefined phase,…

The rigorous resource framework of quantum coherence has been set up recently and excited a wide variety of interests. Here we show that a quantum cavity optomechanical system, as an emerging platform, can behave with a certain value of…

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has seen widespread success as an in vivo clinical diagnostic 3D imaging modality, impacting areas including ophthalmology, cardiology, and gastroenterology. Despite its many advantages, such as high…

The traditional optical concept for the object does not provide an experimental feasibility to speak for itself, due to the fact that no measuring instrument catches up with the fluctuation of light fields. Using the theory of coherence, we…

The complete characterization of spatial coherence is difficult because the mutual coherence function is a complex-valued function of four independent variables. This difficulty limits the ability of controlling and optimizing spatial…

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive, micrometer-scale imaging modality that has become a clinical standard in ophthalmology. By raster-scanning the retina, sequential cross-sectional image slices are acquired to generate…

Studying the coherence of an optical field is typically compartmentalized with respect to its different optical degrees of freedom (DoFs) -- spatial, temporal, and polarization. Although this traditional approach succeeds when the DoFs are…

Recent advances in optical imaging and communication increasingly involve high-dimensional, partially coherent light, creating a growing need for scalable tools to measure and manipulate coherence. Here, we demonstrate the automatic…

A new semi-discrete finite element scheme for the evolution of three parametrized curves by curvature flow that are connected by a triple junction is presented and analyzed. In this triple junction, conditions are imposed on the angles at…
