TLDR
In this article, the authors present a systematic account of optical coherence theory within the framework of classical optics, as applied to such topics as radiation from sources of different states of coherence, foundations of radiometry, effects of source coherence on the spectra of radiated fields, and scattering of partially coherent light by random media.Abstract:
This book presents a systematic account of optical coherence theory within the framework of classical optics, as applied to such topics as radiation from sources of different states of coherence, foundations of radiometry, effects of source coherence on the spectra of radiated fields, coherence theory of laser modes, and scattering of partially coherent light by random media. The book starts with a full mathematical introduction to the subject area and each chapter concludes with a set of exercises. The authors are renowned scientists and have made substantial contributions to many of the topics treated in the book. Much of the book is based on courses given by them at universities, scientific meetings and laboratories throughout the world. This book will undoubtedly become an indispensable aid to scientists and engineers concerned with modern optics, as well as to teachers and graduate students of physics and engineering.read more

Changchun Zhong,Zhixin Wang,Chang-Ling Zou,Mengzhen Zhang,Xu Han,Wei Fu,Mingrui Xu,Shyam Shankar,Michel Devoret,Hong X. Tang,Liang Jiang +10 more
TL;DR: This work proposes and analyzes the generation and verification of entangled microwave-optical-photon pairs and proposes a counterintuitive design-suppress the added noise by placing the device at a higher temperature environment-which can improve both the device quality factor and power handling capability.

Entanglement transfer through the turbulent atmosphere
A. A. Semenov,Werner Vogel +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the propagation of polarization-entangled states of light through fluctuating loss channels in the turbulent atmosphere is studied, including the situation of strong losses, and violations of Bell inequalities by light, emitted by a parametric down-conversion source, after transmission through a turbulent atmosphere.

Photo-induced creation of nitrogen-related color centers in diamond nanocrystals under femtosecond illumination
Yannick Dumeige,François Treussart,Romain Alléaume,Thierry Gacoin,Jean-François Roch,Philippe Grangier +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, femtosecond laser pulses were used to generate photo-creation of color centers in diamond nanocrystals under peak power corresponding to an intensity of about 50 GW / cm 2.

Generation of correlated photon pairs in type-II parametric down conversion--revisited
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental investigation of the emission characteristics for down-converted photons in order to investigate the possibility of high brightness sources for correlated photon pairs is presented, and possible ways to increase the collection efficiency for polarization entangled photon pairs are discussed.
