Author:Naidoo, Darryl; Litvin, Ihar; Forbes, ADate:Jul 2018Laser brightness is a measure of the ability to deliver intense light to a target and encapsulates both the energy content and the beam quality. High-brightness lasers require that both parameters be maximized, yet standard laser cavities do ...Read more

Author:Roux, FS; Chen, MDate:Sep 2010In an attempt to understand the process whereby the phase modulation due to atmospheric turbulance causes phase singularities (also called optical vortices), the authors investigated the effect of phase perturbations in speckle beams. They ...Read more
Author:Schulze, C; Ngcobo, Sandile; Duparre, M; Forbes, ADate:Dec 2012The modal decomposition of an arbitrary optical field may be done without regard to the spatial scale of the chosen basis functions, but this generally leads to a large number of modes in the expansion. While this may be considered as ...Read more
