Optical communications through highly scattering channels using the coherence-rank
Mitchell Harling, Chandler Stevenson, Ayman F. Abouraddy +1
In optical communications, logical bits are encoded in physical degrees-of-freedom (DoFs) of the electromagnetic field. Consequently, optical scattering in a communications channel…

Iso-entropy partially coherent optical fields that cannot be inter-converted unitarily
Mitchell Harling, Varun A. Kelkar, Kimani C. Toussaint +1
For partially coherent optical fields in which a single binary degree of freedom (DoF) is relevant, such as polarization, entropy uniquely identifies the class of optical fields th…
