Laser Coherence Modulation and Its Applications
An overview on the fundamental theory of optical coherence and its development history is presented. The methods for modulating coherence degree and coherence function and the methods for measuring laser coherence are introduced. Furthermore, the related physical effects induced by coherence modulation and fundamental applications are briefly outlined. Coherence modulation not only enriches the theory of light field modulation, but also pushes the development of laser technology.
