“…The orthogonal polarization components of the scattered field were detected by the technique for spatialfrequency multiplex polarization interferometry and Fourier fringe analysis [13]. The detected polarization components of the scattered field are calibrated against a standard beam with a known state of polarization to avoid systematic errors.…”

The van Cittert-Zernike theorem is extended to the vectorial regime based on spatial averaging over the observation plane, and experimental demonstrations are presented. The theorem connects complex vectorial source structure to the degree of coherence and polarization of the spatially fluctuating vectorial field in the far field. Experimentation is carried out by making use of the space averages as a replacement of ensemble averages for the Gaussian stochastic field. For quantitative comparison with the theorem, analytical and experimental results are presented for a rectangular aperture with different vectorial source structures.

Conducting polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates used for the flexible electronics and photonics are birefringent in nature. Birefringence of the PET substrate increases with the external applied stress. In this paper, we have studied the state of the polarization of the light transmitted through the flexible PET substrate. Polarimetric characterization of flexible substrate was done for red and yellow wavelengths of light. Single shot three beams interference was recorded by the polarizing Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Interferograms were recorded without bending and different external bending applied to the substrate which increases the stress. The recorded interferograms was analyzed by the Fourier transform fringe (FTF) analysis method. The single shot interferograms have the information of the amplitude and phase of orthogonally polarized field components. Stokes parameters were calculated from orthogonal polarization component extracted from the single shot interferograms analyzed by FTF. Calculated Stokes parameters were plotted on the Poincare sphere to see the change in the state of polarization (SOP) of the light transmitted through these substrates. The change in the SOP of the transmitted light was observed without and with the external stress applied to the PET substrate due to its birefringence characteristic.

“…If we detect the intensity of the scattered field without using an analyzer, we have Iðr; tÞ ¼ E Ã ðr; tÞ Á Eðr; tÞ ¼ jE x ðr; tÞj 2 þ jE y ðr; tÞj 2 ; ð25Þ which does not give any polarization-specific information other than the intensity superposition of the two time varying speckle patterns arising from the mutually orthogonal field components. However, if we detect the complex amplitudes of the two orthogonal field components, E x ðr; tÞ and E y ðr; tÞ, by using an appropriate polarimetric interferometer, [22][23][24] we can visualize spatio-temporal variations of the state of polarization. When we stop the movement of the diffusers, we will observe a static speckle-like random pattern that represents the spatial variation of the polarization state as shown in Fig.…”

“…For this purpose, we take an alternative approach of numerical field correlation. The elements of the coherence-polarization matrix, W S xx ðÁrÞ, W S yy ðÁrÞ, W S xy ðÁrÞ, and W S yx ðÁrÞ, are computed numerically from the field components E x ðrÞ and E y ðrÞ, which are detected with a spatial carrier frequency multiplex polarization interferometer [22][23][24] combined with Fourier fringe analysis. 18) In Fig.…”

Classical statistical optics is revisited with the aim of introducing the concept of spatial statistical optics that places particular focus and special emphasis on spatial statistics of the optical field, rather than on their temporal statistics. The principles of emerging technology of statistical correlation holography based on spatial statistical optics are reviewed, and their unique capabilities for coherence and polarization shaping as well as synthesizing stochastic optical fields with desired statistical properties are introduced. #
