  • Singular Optics

Specific Optical Science and Engineering Professional Accomplishments:

Over 300 publications in optical sciences, more than 80 in refereed archival journals. Co-author of 5 monographs.

Principal research accomplishments:

  1. Developed method of holographic measurement of dynamic and structural characteristics of quasi-spherical Brownian particle ensembles.

  2. Developed practical interference correlometry methods for characterization of rough surfaces. Method has sensitivity threshold in the tens of Angstroms.

  3. Application of fractical geometry and fractal optics, along with fast polarization-interference methods, to rough surface diagnostics.

  4. Investigation of referenceless holographic recording methods for fractal analysis.

  5. Introduction of new approach for analysis of singularities (e.g., phase-difference vortices) in vector fields. Included in this work is the formulation of the sign principle for phase-difference vortices and the elaboration of an inteferometric technique for the analysis of s-contours and C-points in vector optical fields.

  6. It is shown that the result of colouring of the beam at the output of the scattering medium depends on the magnitudes of the phase delays of the singly forward scattered partial signals. The colouring mechanism has for the first time experimentally been illustrated for a forward propagating beam through a light-scattering medium. Spectral investigation of the effects of colouring has been carried out using a solution of liquid crystal in a polymer matrix. The amplitude ratio of the non-scattered and the singly forward scattered interfering components significantly affects the colour intensity. It has further been established that the spectral content of the illuminating beam strongly influences the colour of the resulting radiation.
