Abstract

Random light fields demonstrate Rayleigh intensity statistics and only possess short-range correlations. We recently demonstrate a method of simultaneously customizing the intensity statistics of speckle patterns while introducing long-range spatial correlations among the speckle grains. The tailored speckle patterns exhibit radically different topologies and varying degrees of spatial order. The various families of speckles are created by encoding high-order correlations into the phase front of a monochromatic laser beam with a spatial light modulator. This work provides a versatile framework for creating complex light fields and controlling their statistical properties for varied applications in microscopy, imaging, and optical manipulation.
