We calculate the effect of polarization-dependent scattering by disorder on the degree of polarization-entanglement of two beams of radiation. Multi-mode detection converts an initially pure state into a mixed state with respect to the…

The purity of an optical vortex beam depends on the spread of its energy among different azimuthal and radial modes. The smaller is this spread, the higher is the vortex purity and the more efficient are its creation and detection. There…
