AI Article Synopsis
- Scalar illumination in a linear optical system can capture information from two objects positioned at different points, even if they overlap laterally.
- Images of these objects can be captured one at a time by moving the camera or simultaneously using a beam splitter.
- The technique leverages the average intensity and spatial coherence of a partially coherent beam as key factors in the scalar optical process.
Article Abstract
The same scalar illumination used in a linear optical system with a single lens is experimentally shown to carry information about two objects placed at different positions along the axis with arbitrary lateral overlap. The images of both objects can be obtained either sequentially by adjusting the placement of the camera or concurrently, with the help of a beam splitter. The effect utilizes the average intensity and the spatial coherence state of a partially coherent beam as two degrees of freedom available in a scalar optical channel.
