Coherence properties of light in highly multimoded nonlinear parabolic fibers under optical equilibrium conditions
Abstract:
We study the coherence characteristics of light propagating in nonlinear graded-index (GRIN) multimode fibers after attaining optical thermal equilibrium conditions. The role of optical temperature on the spatial mutual coherence function and the associated correlation area is systematically investigated. In this respect, we show that the coherence properties of the field at the output of a multimode nonlinear fiber can be controlled through its optical thermodynamic properties.

Consider a scenario where a wave propagates from a string of low linear mass density to a string of high linear mass density. In such a case, the reflected wave is out of phase with respect to the incident wave, however the...
