Geometric phase-space nonseparability triggers giant optical shifts
Kaiqi Zhu, Yonglei Liu, Yao Zhao +8
Nonseparability among multiple degrees of freedom has enabled fundamental advances in structured light and related applications. Here we unveil a previously overlooked form of nons…
Experimental Observation of Ghost Image Revivals via Structured Coherence
Weining Wang, Yaning Zhou, Sergey A Ponomarenko +2
Ghost imaging retrieves an object's image from intensity correlations between two light beams, neither of which independently carries information about the object. However, convent…
Source coherence orchestrates nonlinear random wave revivals
Yanlin Bai, Tianyu Cao, Pujuan Ma +4
We demonstrate that the Talbot length of periodic wave packets, long believed to be solely determined by their periodicity, is strongly affected by the source coherence in the nonl…
Regular and irregular revivals of quasi-periodic random waves
Yanlin Bai, Yangjian Cai, Chunhao Liang +1
Paraxial wave packets with discrete spatial, temporal, or spatiotemporal spectra are known to undergo periodic axial revivals on propagation in either free space or linear transpar…
Wigner picture of partially coherent accelerating beams
Sergey A. Ponomarenko, Morteza Hajati
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 W…
Spatiotemporally Localized Optical Links and Knots
Yaning Zhou, Nianjia Zhang, Ao Zhou +7
Optical links and knots have attracted growing attention owing to their exotic topologic features and promising applications in next-generation information transfer and storage. Ho…
Deep learning and random light structuring ensure robust free-space communications
Xiaofei Li, Yu Wang, Xin Liu +4
Having shown early promise, free-space optical communications (FSO) face formidable challenges in the age of information explosion. The ever-growing demand for greater channel comm…
Axial correlation revivals and number factorization with structured random waves
Xin Liu, Chunhao Liang, Yangjian Cai +1
We advance a general theory of field correlation revivals of structured random wave packets, composed of superpositions of propagation-invariant modes, at pairs of planes transvers…
Incoherent mode division multiplexing for high-security information encryption
Xin Liu, Sergey A. Ponomarenko, Fei Wang +2
In the age of information explosion, the conventional optical communication protocols are rapidly reaching the limits of their capacity, as almost all available degrees of freedom…
Airy beams on incoherent background
Morteza Hajati, Vincent Sieben, Sergey A. Ponomarenko
We present a class of diffraction-free partially coherent beams each member of which is comprised of a finite power, non-accelerating Airy bump residing on a statistically homogene…
Perfect optical coherence lattices
Liang Chunhao, Liu Xin, Xu Zhiheng +4
We advance and experimentally implement a protocol to generate perfect optical coherence lattices (OCL) that are not modulated by an envelope field. Structuring the amplitude and p…
Temporal boundary solitons and extreme super-thermal light statistics
Chunhao Liang, Sergey A. Ponomarenko, Fei Wang +1
We discover the formation of a temporal boundary soliton (TBS) in the close proximity of a temporal boundary, moving in a nonlinear optical medium, upon high-intensity pulse collis…
Rogue waves, self-similar statistics, and self-similar intermediate asymptotics
Chunhao Liang, Sergey A. Ponomarenko, Fei Wang +1
We advance a statistical theory of extreme event emergence in random nonlinear wave systems with self-similar intermediate asymptotics. We show, within the framework of a generic (…
Rogue Waves, Self-similarity, and Integrable Turbulence
Yashar E. Monfared, Sergey A. Ponomarenko
We explore extreme event occurrence in the integrable turbulence with self-similar asymptotics. We posit that rogue waves in such systems manifest themselves as giant fluctuations…
