Self-focusing partially coherent beams with circular coherence have shown high potential for robust propagation through atmospheric turbulence. In this paper, we introduce a criterion to approximate the degrading effects of turbulence and we show how the coherence of the source can be optimized to generate a beam with the highest stability in turbu...

Superoscillations are oscillations of a band limited waveform with a local frequency higher than the bandlimit. Spatial superoscillations show great potential for performing super-resolution imaging. However, these superoscillatory waveforms are inevitably surrounded by high intensity sidelobes which severely limit the usable super-resolved area of...

The transverse structure of light is recognized as a resource that can be used to encode information onto photons and has been shown to be useful to enhance communication capacity as well as resolve point sources in superresolution imaging. The Laguerre–Gaussian (LG) modes form a complete and orthonormal basis set and are described by a radial inde...

This paper focuses on designing dichroic filters for changing the color of light-emitting diode (LED) lamps. Dichroic filters are composed of multiple dielectric layers on a substrate. By applying a dichroic filter, some of the LED’s spectral energy is reflected and some is transmitted, which changes the lamp’s color. Conventional methods to obtain...

This paper introduces an uncertainty analysis model and its experimental implementation for chromaticity coordinates and luminous flux measurements of light-emitting diode (LED) sources. The uncertainty model applies the theory of the numerical method to estimate both the chromaticity coordinates and luminous flux uncertainties. The modeling proces...
