In the last two decades, Fresnel diffraction (FD) of a plane wave from phase steps has been systematically studied and applied for precise measurements of light wavelength, and height and refractive index of the step. In this study we…
X-ray phase-contrast imaging enhances soft tissue visualization by leveraging the phase shift of X-rays passing through materials. It permits to minimize radiation exposure due to high contrast, as well as high resolution imaging limited by…
We present Wideband Back-Projection Diffusion, an end-to-end probabilistic framework for approximating the posterior distribution induced by the inverse scattering map from wideband scattering data. This framework produces highly accurate…
An extended Wigner function formalism is introduced for describing the quantum dynamics of particles with internal degrees of freedom in the presence of spatially inhomogeneous fields. The approach is used for quantitative simulations of…
We prove a formula expressing the gradient of the phase function of a function $f: \mathbb R^d \mapsto \mathbb C$ as a normalized first frequency moment of the Wigner distribution for fixed time. The formula holds when $f$ is the Fourier…
A new method for investigation of x-ray propagation in a rough narrow dielectric waveguide is proposed on the basis of the numerical integration of the quazioptical equation. In calculations a model rough surface was used with the given…
We study the problem of measurement-induced decoherence using the phase-space approach employing the Gaussian-smoothed Wigner distribution function. Our investigation is based on the notion that measurement-induced decoherence is…
Using the FDTD method, we investigate the electromagnetic propagation in two-dimensional photonic crystals, formed by parallel air cylinders in a dielectric medium. The corresponding frequency band structure is computed using the standard…
We advance a phase-space theory of partially coherent accelerating, non-diffracting beams employing the Wigner distribution function (WDF). We derive a general expression for the WDF of any accelerating, diffraction-free beam of arbitrary…
Wireless signals are integral to modern society, enabling both communication and increasingly, environmental sensing. While various propagation models exist, ranging from empirical methods to full-wave simulations, the phenomenon of…
The problem of diffraction of a waveguide mode by a thin Neumann screen is considered. The incident mode is assumed to have frequency close to the cut-off. The problem is reduced to a propagation problem on a branched surface and then is…
The influence of low-spatial frequency errors of an optical component of an imaging system on the point spread function can be quantified using Zernike polynomials. High-spatial frequency errors cause strong scattering due to which the…
It is shown that perfect imaging of a point source both in near- and far-field regions contradicts electrodynamics although ``superlensing'' is impossible only in the far-field region. These general statements are illustrated by detailed…
Pulsed Bessel beams of light propagating in free-space experience diffraction effects that resemble those of anomalous dispersion on pulse propagation. It is then shown that a pulsed Bessel beam in a normally dispersive material can remain…
Diffraction of a surface wave on a rectangular wedge with impedance faces is studied using the Sommerfeld-Malyuzhinets technique. An analog of Landau's bypass rule in the theory of plasma waves is introduced for selection of a correct…
Partially coherent light is abundant in many physical systems, and its propagation properties are well understood. Here we extend current theory of propagation of partially coherent light beams to the field of coherent diffusion. Based on a…
In Optics it is common to split up the formal analysis of diffraction according to two convenient approximations, in the near and far fields (also known as the Fresnel and Fraunhofer regimes, respectively). Within this scenario, geometrical…
A general reformulation of classical sharp-edge diffraction theory is proposed within paraxial approximation. The, not so much known, Poincar\'e vector potential construction is employed directly inside Fresnel's 2D integral in order for it…
We demonstrate experimentally a novel technique for characterizing transverse spatial coherence using the Wigner distribution function. The presented method is based on measuring interference between a pair of rotated and displaced replicas…
Growing interest in non-line-of-sight (NLoS) imaging, colloquially referred to as "seeing around corners", has led to the development of phasor-field ($\mathcal{P}$-field) imaging, wherein the field envelope of amplitude-modulated…
