Singularities in the polarization state of non-uniform electromagnetic beams have been a topic of both theoretical and practical interest for many years, as have singular[...]

We study the propagation properties (intensity, degree of coherence and scintillation) of a new class of beams in a turbulent atmosphere, which are called Hermite non-uni[...]

Close to the ground, it is generally known that atmospheric turbulence exhibits strong anisotropy, which affects the performance of applications such as free-space optica[...]

We introduce a new class of non-uniformly correlated beams that are called rectangular Hermite non-uniformly correlated (RHNUC) beams, which possess rectangular symmetry [...]

Optical coherence theory typically deals with the average properties of randomly fluctuating fields. However, in some circumstances the averaging process can mask importa[...]

Fiber optic delivery of laser energy has been used for years in various types of surgical procedures in the human body. Optical energy provides several benefits over ele[...]

The engine of modern society is fueled by information, and the desire to obtain, process and relay it ever more quickly is motivation for scientists to dig deeper into pa[...]

The recently introduced class of two-dimensional materials, monolayer Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs), are emerging as highly promising candidates to enhance data[...]

Freeform optics, broadly described as optical elements with at least one surface lacking translational or rotational symmetry, have seen increased interest due to recent [...]

The conventional method of suture ligation of vascular tissues during surgery is time consuming, skill intensive, and leaves foreign objects in the body. Energy-based rad[...]
