Improper statistics of the radiation from a randomly rotating source

Mikhail Charnotskii

Our earlier work [J. Opt. 19. (2017) 0905603] showed that, in contrast to the four parameters of the traditional Stokes vector description of the statistics of the partially polari…

Warp and blur model for imaging through turbulence

Mikhail Charnotskii

Point Spread Function (PSF) for imaging through inhomogeneous refractive medium, such as atmospheric turbulence is bounded by three constraints [Charnotskii, Opt. Eng., 52, 04600,…

Partially-coherent waves with binominal coherence

Mikhail Charnotskii

Comprehensive analysis of non-diffracting optical waves with binominal two-point coherence function (BCF) is presented. This coherence function consist of two terms, each depending…

Passive scintillometer: Theory and proof of concept

Mikhail Charnotskii

We propose design of a low-cost passive scintillometer that measures the strength of optical turbulence by analyzing scintillation in the image of a straight edge between the two a…

Four methods for generation of turbulent phase screens: comparison

Mikhail Charnotskii

We introduce a new method for generation of the phase screen samples with arbitrary spatial spectrum: Sparse Spectrum with uniform wave vectors (SU). Similar to the known Sparse Sp…

Eight models for coherence of radiation from incoherent sources and coherence of sunlight

Mikhail Charnotskii

Eight models for the coherence of the quasi-monochromatic light from spherical incoherent sources are constructed by placing incoherent monopole and dipole sources on the surface o…

Fluctuations of the aperture-averaged orbital angular momentum after propagation through turbulence

Mikhail Charnotskii

In the recent paper [1] it was shown that for paraxial propagation of scalar waves, the transverse linear momentum and orbital angular momentum (OAM) are related to the wave cohere…

Transverse linear and orbital angular momenta of beam waves and propagation in random media

Mikhail Charnotskii

For paraxial propagation of scalar waves the classic electromagnetic theory definition of transverse linear (TLM) and orbital angular (OAM) momenta of the beam wave are represented…

Statistics of narrow-band partially polarized light

Mikhail Charnotskii

A complete single-point statistical description of a narrow-band partially polarized optical field is developed in terms of the 2-D Period-Averaged Probability Density Function (PA…
