Experimental Measurement of the Generalized Stokes Parameters of a Radially Polarized Random Electromagnetic Beam
Utilizing the Young’s double slits and Mach-Zehnder interferometer, we proposed an experimental method to measure the generalized Stokes parameters of a radially polarized random electromagnetic beam. After the partially coherent beam propagating through the Young’s double slits, the interference fringe is obtained by the help of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer consisting of apertures, quarter-wa...
متن کاملDirect determination of the generalized Stokes parameters from the usual Stokes parameters.
We report an experimental method to determine the generalized Stokes parameters for a pair of points in the cross section of an electromagnetic beam, e.g., an expanded laser beam, with the help of a Young's interferometer and a set of polarizers and quarter-wave plates. The method is investigated theoretically using the electromagnetic spectral interference law. The generalized Stokes parameter...
متن کاملReliability Analysis of FSO Communication Links Using Aberrated Divergent rectangular Partially Coherent Flat- Topped Beam
The effects of aberration on the Bit-Error-Rate (BER) and reliability of free- space optical (FSO) communication links are investigated. Based on aberrated divergent rectangular partially coherent flat-topped beam formula on the receiver plane and considering the atmosphere losses due to absorption and scattering, numerical values for Power In Bucket (PIB), Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and BER a...
متن کاملBroadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering spectroscopy of nitrogen using a picosecond modeless dye laser.
Broadband picosecond coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectroscopy of nitrogen is demonstrated using 145-ps pump and probe beams and a 115-ps Stokes beam with a spectral bandwidth of 5 nm. This is, to our knowledge, the first demonstration of broadband CARS using subnanosecond lasers. The short temporal envelope of the laser pulses and the broadband spectral nature of the Stokes bea...
متن کاملExperimental determination of the Stokes parameters using a dual photoelastic modulator system
We develop a more general methodology for a dual photoelastic modulator (PEM) system that is used for the determination of the Stokes parameters of an arbitrary light beam. This allows for a degree of arbitrariness in the setting of the retardation amplitudes of both PEMs, thus permitting a robust and effective optimization of the detection system. Various experimental issues are considered and...
