Sampling the spatial coherence of light
M. Vitek, M. Peterek, D. Koutny +6
We introduce a novel application of the Hartmann sensor, traditionally designed for wavefront sensing, to measure the coherence properties of optical signals. By drawing an analogy…
Light-field imaging from position-momentum correlations
