Singularities in Speckled Speckle: Screening
arXiv:0807.3234 · doi:10.1364/JOSAA.25.002932
Abstract
We study screening of optical singularities in random optical fields with two widely different length scales. We call the speckle patterns generated by such fields speckled speckle, because the major speckle spots in the pattern are themselves highly speckled. We study combinations of fields whose components exhibit short- and long-range correlations, and find unusual forms of screening.
