We present some new results relating to properties of completely coherent optical fields. Our analysis elucidates the relationship between the theories of such fields in the space-time and in the space-frequency domains. We also show that the concept of cross-spectral purity, introduced by L. Mandel many years ago, plays an important role in clarifying this relationship.

Reduction formula for cross-spectral purity of nonstationary light fields.
J Opt Soc Am A Opt Image Sci Vis
June 2023
We examine cross-spectral purity of random, nonstationary (pulsed), scalar light fields with arbitrary spectral bandwidth. In particular, we derive a reduction formula in terms of time-integrated coherence functions, which ensures cross-spectral purity of interfering fields having identical normalized spectra. We further introduce fields that are cross-spectrally pure in either a global or local sense.

Article Synopsis
- Video Super-Resolution (VSR) seeks to improve low-resolution videos by restoring high-resolution details, but challenges remain due to issues like blur and noise.
- The proposed Frequency-Transformer (FTVSR++) uses a unique combination of space-time-frequency analysis and self-attention to effectively enhance textures in degraded videos.
- Its novel dual frequency attention mechanism captures both global and local characteristics, leading to superior video enhancement results compared to existing methods on various low-quality datasets.

Antenna arrays offer advantages in terms of spatial diversity, allowing for control over pattern specifications in space. The incorporation of frequency diversity in arrays presents an opportunity to manipulate beams in the Space-Time domain. Unlike conventional arrays, Frequency Diverse Arrays (FDA) with added frequency diversity exhibit time-variant and range-dependent patterns.

Such a spatio-temporal coupling not only induces interesting space-frequency and space-time effects, but it removes cylindrical symmetry. We analyze the quantitative effects on the spatio-temporal pulse structure on the collimated beam and as it propagates through a focus, with both the fundamental Gaussian beam and Laguerre-Gaussian beams.

J Opt Soc Am A Opt Image Sci Vis
February 2023
In this paper, we demonstrate that the vector light field is cross-spectrally pure if it passes through two diffusers (having similar correlation properties) moving with identical linear speeds in opposite directions. To determine the spatio-temporal coherence function of cross-spectrally pure light, a double slit is placed just after the second diffuser. We show that the normalized space-time coherence Stokes parameters of emerging light can be described in the form of a reduction formula, whereas the absolute values of the normalized space-frequency coherence Stokes parameters are the same for every frequency component of the light field.
