Hanbury Brown–Twiss effect and thermal light ghost imaging: A unified approach

Li‐Gang Wang, Sajid Qamar, Shi‐Yao Zhu +1 more

We compare the Hanbury Brown--Twiss (HBT) and the thermal light ghost imaging schemes in both near and far fields. Both effects arise as a result of the intensity fluctuations of the thermal light and we find that the essential physics behind the two effects is the same. The difference however is that, in the ghost imaging, large number of bits information of an object needs to be treated together, whereas, in the HBT, there is only one bit information required to be obtained. In the HBT experiment far field is used for the purpose of easy detection, while in the ghost image experiment near (or not far) field is used for good quality image.

Coherent spontaneous emission of light due to surface waves

Jean‐Jacques Greffet, Rémi Carminati, Karl Joulain +4 more

Surface-phonon polaritons produce peaks in the local density of electromagnetic states close to the interface. We show that this affects dramatically the spontaneous emission of light by thermal sources in the near field. We discuss several effects such as coherence properties in the near field, radiative heat transfer at short distances and the design of coherent thermal sources in the near field and in the far field.
