      Norrman, Andreas; Gil, Jose J; Friberg, Ari T; Setälä, Tero (The Optical Society of America, 2019)
      Three-dimensional polarization states of random light can be classified into regular and nonregular according to the structure of the related 3×3 polarization matrix. Here we show that any purely evanescent wave excited ...

      Saastamoinen, Kimmo; Partanen, Henri; Friberg, Ari T; Setälä, Tero (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2020)
      Highly nonparaxial electromagnetic fields are increasingly met in modern nanophotonics. Their characterization is vital, but the traditional beam-field methods are not applicable. In this work we demonstrate a novel technique ...

    • Scattering of partially coherent surface plasmon polariton fields by metallic nanostripe 

      Daniel, Salman; Saastamoinen, Kimmo; Ponomarenko, Sergey A; Friberg, Ari T (Springer Nature, 2019)
      Background Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are electromagnetic waves that propagate at a metal-dielectric interface. Until recently, monochromatic, fully coherent SPPs have mainly been considered. Methods We investigate ...

    • Sets of orthogonal three-dimensional polarization states and their physical interpretation 

      Gil, Jose J; San Jose, Ignacio; Norrman, Andreas; Friberg, Ari T; Setälä, Tero (American Physical Society (APS), 2019)
      The spectral and characteristic decompositions of the polarization matrix provide fruitful frameworks for the physical interpretation of three-dimensional (3D) partially polarized light fields. The decompositions are ...

    • Spatial coherence effects in second-harmonic generation of scalar light fields 

      Pesonen, Henri; Halder, Atri; Huusko, Juha-Matti; Friberg, Ari T; Setälä, Tero; Turunen, Jari (IOP Publishing, 2021)
      We consider the spectral spatial coherence characteristics of scalar light fields in second-harmonic generation in an optically non-linear medium. Specifically, we take the fundamental-frequency (incident) field to be a ...

    • Spatial coherence of light measured by nanoscattering 

      Saastamoinen, Kimmo; Leppänen, Lasse-Petteri; Vartiainen, Ismo; Friberg, Ari T; Setälä, Tero (The Optical Society, 2018)
      As complex random electromagnetic fields are increasingly exploited in advanced photonics, the measurement of their statistical properties emerges as a crucial technical issue. For spatial coherence, we employ dipole ...

    • Spectral invariance and scaling law for nonstationary optical fields 

      Ding, Chaoliang; Koivurova, Matias; Setälä, Tero; Turunen, Jari; Friberg, Ari T (American Physical Society (APS), 2020)
      We develop a scaling law for a class of statistically nonstationary scalar optical fields, which ensures spectral invariance on their propagation into the far zone of a planar source. The invariance involves the constraint ...

      Partanen, Henri; Friberg, Ari T; Setälä, Tero; Turunen, Jari (Optical Society of America, 2019)
      We introduce a spectrally resolved Young’s interferometer based on a digital micromirror device, a grating spectrometer, and a set of polarization-modulation elements to measure the spectral coherence (two-point) Stokes ...

      Laatikainen, Jyrki; Koivurova, Matias; Turunen, Jari; Setälä, Tero; Friberg, Ari T (American Physical Society, 2022)
      The notions of cross-spectral purity and spectral invariance of light impose specific structures for the field coherence. Such concepts were originally introduced for stationary light and recently extended to nonstationary ...

      Chen, Yahong; Norrman, Andreas; Ponomarenko, Sergey A; Friberg, Ari T (American Physical Society, 2021)
      We examine the spin angular momentum (SAM) density associated with the recently introduced [Phys. Rev. A 100, 053833 (2019)], partially coherent surface-plasmon-polariton (SPP) vortex fields at a metal-air interface. We ...
