TLDR
In this paper, the spectral distribution curve of temperature radiation was shown to be similar to the velocity distribution of the electromagnetic spectrum of a single photon, and the formal similarity of spectral distribution curves to Maxwell's velocity distribution curve was revealed.
Abstract
The formal similarity of the spectral distribution curve of temperature radiation to Maxwell’s velocity distribution curve is too striking to have remained hidden very long.

Transient first-order interference of two independent thermal light beams

TL;DR: In this paper, the transient first-order interference of two independent thermal light beams in both classical and quantum theories was analyzed, and it was shown that for a certain kind of thermal light, it is impossible to observe the transient First-Order Interference Pattern by superposing two independent Thermal light beams even if the degeneracy parameter of the thermal light is much greater than one.

The Greenhouse Effect Does Exist

TL;DR: The relationship between the greenhouse effect and observed temperature curve is explained and the paper by Gerlich and Tscheuschner [arXiv:0707.1161] critically analyzed.

Einstein's contributions to atomic physics

TL;DR: The authors traces the various ways in which ten papers published by Einstein during the period 1905-1925 influenced the development of the modern atomic paradigm, and illustrates how these discoveries can be made intuitive and pedagogically useful.

Spectral, spatial and temporal control of high-power diode lasers through nonlinear optical feedback

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a high-power diode laser with a broad amplification region supporting transverse modes while the broad spectral gain supports oscillation at many longitudinal frequencies.
