    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Wave Phenomena
    • Beam Engineering

    Background:

    • Light sheets are optical fields with localized intensity, but achieving ideal properties like longitudinal independence is challenging.
    • Existing methods for generating light sheets often struggle with truncated fields and maintaining desired characteristics.

    • To present a theoretical framework for generating intensity-interferometric continuous wave (cw) light sheets.
    • To propose a practical method for creating these light sheets using prisms.
    • To demonstrate the tunability of light sheet properties, including thickness, propagation distance, and transverse profile.

    Main Methods:

    • Developing a general theoretical framework for intensity-interferometric light sheets.
    • Utilizing overlapping interference fringe patterns from uncorrelated frequency components.
    • Proposing a generation method involving prisms and numerical demonstration.

    Main Results:

    • Key light sheet parameters can be calculated using simple analytical expressions.
    • Bright and dark light sheets with exceptional thinness and long divergence-free propagation are achievable.
    • The transverse profile of light sheets can be shaped by modifying the light's spectrum.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed method offers a practical approach to generating high-quality light sheets.
    • Findings advance beam-engineering technology and open new application possibilities.
    • The ability to tailor light sheet profiles enhances their utility in various scientific fields.
