Dynamic control of light scattering using spatial coherence

Tunable, anomalous Mie scattering using spatial coherence

“…(19) and (17) yield the same result. Some related results were reported in [28], where it was suggested that Bessel-correlated fields can give rise to strongly suppressed scattering in the forward direction. In contrast to the present study, this result was obtained for a random spherical scatterer while making use of the first-order Born approximation.…”

Correlation of Intensity Fluctuations for Scattering of a Partially Coherent Plane-Wave Pulse

“…Scattering is of great importance in physics, astronomy, chemistry, meteorology, biology, and in other fields. Scattering of electromagnetic fields from a medium which fluctuates both in space and in time has been studied extensively in recent years [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The scattering medium may be deterministic or random, continuous or discrete.…”

Generation of Vector Partially Coherent Optical Sources Using Phase-Only Spatial Light Modulators

“…Their widespread appeal stems from the fact that, by simply manipulating spatial coherence, the source's resulting shape and polarization can be precisely controlled. Numerous researchers have designed vector partially coherent sources for applications such as free-space and underwater optical communications [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16], remote sensing [17,18], optical scattering [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29], and particle manipulation and trapping [30][31][32][33].…”
