Structured coherence: A modern perspective on optical coherence as a resource
Ayman F. Abouraddy, Bahaa E. A. Saleh
Optical coherence is a well-established branch of physical optics in which the statistical properties of fluctuating optical fields are described in terms of correlation functions…
On-chip measurement of the modal Stokes-Gell-Mann parameters for partially coherent three-mode light
Amin Hashemi, Abbas Shiri, Bahaa E. A. Saleh +2
The Stokes parameters are three real parameters that completely characterize partially coherent optical fields spanned by two modes -- whether a pair of polarization or spatial mod…
On-chip control of the coherence matrix of four-mode partially coherent light: rank, entropy, and modal Stokes parameters
Amin Hashemi, Abbas Shiri, Bahaa E. A. Saleh +2
Partially coherent light offers salutary capabilities in optical information processing that cannot be matched by coherent light. To date, this `coherence advantage' has been confi…
Programmable on-chip synthesis and reconstruction of partially coherent two-mode optical fields
Amin Hashemi, Abbas Shiri, Bahaa E. A. Saleh +2
Partially coherent light is typically studied in the context of freely propagating continuous fields. Recent developments have indicated the existence of a `coherence advantage' in…
Broadband entangled-photon omni-resonance in a planar optical cavity
Bryan L. Turo, Layton A. Hall, Bahaa E. A. Saleh +1
Resonant field enhancement in an optical cavity is a promising pathway towards realizing optical nonlinearities at the few-photon level. This quest is hampered by inevitable narrow…
