Classical Radiation

The process of generation of non-classical radiation in an active Fabry-Perot dye microcavity, under femtosecond excitation, has been investigated. Single photon states, with a non-classical sub-Poissonian distribution have been generated after the excitation of a small number of active molecules, located between the two mirrors. By multiple excitation of the active medium, collective emission phenomena are expected because of the strong superradiant coupling occurring within the transverse coherence area of the microcavity. In particular, we have experimentally verified the principle of relativistic causality within the process of two-dipole superradiance by transverse interaction, in condition of strong microcavity confinement.

Coherence Area

The interferometric mapping of astronomical objects relies on the van-Cittert Zernike theorem, one of the major results of the theory of partially coherent light [see, Bom and Wolf (1980), chapter 10]. This theorem states that the degree of spatial coherence of the field from a distant spatially incoherent source is proportional to the Fourier transform of the intensity distribution across the source. Measurement of the degree of spatial coherence, by, for example, measuring the visibility of interference fringes, allows the object to be mapped by making an inverse Fourier transform. (For a full description of this technique see Thompson, Moran and Swenson, 1986.)In this paper I present a summary of the results an investigation into what happens when the distant source is not spatially coherent (James, 1990). Using a heuristic model of a spherically symmetric partially coherent source, an analytic expression for the error in the measurement of the effective radius, expressed as a function of coherence area, can be obtained.

Coherence Area

The experimental photocount distribution from a photocathode illuminated by a pseudothermal source is compared with theory. The detection time is much smaller than the coherence time [Formula: see text]. The agreement is excellent for an illuminated area composed of holes small enough to be considered as points and far enough to guarantee incoherence among them. But, for an extended circular area, the agreement is good only in the limits when that area is very small or very large with respect to the coherence area. Finally, we consider on the one hand, the evaluation of an extended detection area as a function of the number of statistically independent points, L, and on the other hand, the relative size of a physical point.
