Abstract

It is considered questions of coherence of a light. The model of quantum packet structure of optical flow for connection of its coherency with parameters of quantum packets is proposed.

About the nature of the coherence of light waves

П. О. Дем’яненко, Kostiantyn P. Demianenko, Fedir P. Demianenko +1 more

The nature of electromagnetic (EM) phenomena, including light, is not fully clear. Postulated rejection of EM ether as a hypothetical habitat and distribution of EM waves, holds in the uncertainty and the problem of understanding the existence of most of these waves, because the notion of "wave" inseparable from the concept of "environment". EM ether, as a hypothetical environment of origin and propagation of EM waves, was declined by postulate. This keeps the uncertainty in the problem of understanding the existence of these waves actually, since the definition of "wave" is an part of the definition of "environment". The input in physics of the concept of wave "coherence", which was necessary to explain the phenomenon of interference of light, also requires a transparent physical interpretation. Today use of the idea of the several-meters - length wave zugs, which are emitted by individual atoms, is at least unconvincing, thus there is technical ability to generate powerful light pulses of 10-15 s. A quantum model of the structure of the optical packet stream, which provides a transparent physical interpretation of all parameters of coherent light, is offered. In this model parameters of coherence are organically linked with the geometry parameters of the quantum packets. Developments of classical wave optics will not be discarded. To coordinate with the quantum-packet model and modern views about the nature of light, we either give them a new interpretation or adjust, or develop these developments. In particular, a new interpretation of the experimental fact increase the radius of coherence of light coming from distant sources (stars) is offered. Modern conception of light corpuscles-photons is formulated. The estimations of the size of the spatial localization of the photon is received. "Diffraction of photons" is considered.

Starting from an understanding of precise representations of the nature of light, the authors discuss the concept of coherence of light waves. They explore the ideas of photons and quantum packages in relation to the characteristics of coherence.

Quantum-packet model of light beam was proposed. This model organically reconciles wave-corpuscle properties of light beam and explains nature of it coherency and physics sense of it parameters.

The quantum theory of light

Stephen Mark Barnett, John Jeffers

We present a brief introduction to the quantum theory of light as it is understood in the field of quantum optics. Our aim is not to review the topic, which would require a very extensive article (or even a book of several volumes) but rather to provide sufficient background to set the ideas in the following papers in their correct context.This article is part of the theme issue 'The quantum theory of light'.

RECENT RESEARCHES ON COHERENCE PROPERTIES OF LIGHT

E. Wolf

Abstract : A brief review is presented of the basic notions and results of a theory formulated within the framework of classical optics to explain optical coherence phenomena. A stochastic description of light is given. Coherence effects of the second and fourth order are also presented.
