We develop a general method for customizing the intensity statistics of speckle patterns on a target plane. By judiciously modulating the phase-front of a monochromatic laser beam, we experimentally generate speckle patterns with arbitrarily-tailored intensity probability-density functions. Relative to Rayleigh speckles, our customized speckles exhibit radically different topologies yet maintain the same spatial correlation length. The customized speckles are fully developed, ergodic, and stationary: with circular non-Gaussian statistics for the complex field. Propagating away from the target plane, the customized speckles revert back to Rayleigh speckles. This work provides a versatile framework for tailoring speckle patterns with varied applications in microscopy, imaging and optical manipulation.

In traditional Hanbury Brown and Twiss (HBT) schemes, the thermal intensity-intensity correlations are phase insensitive. Here we propose a modified HBT scheme with phase conjugation to demonstrate the phase-sensitive and nonfactorizable features for thermal intensity-intensity correlation speckle. Our scheme leads to results that are similar to those of the two-photon speckle. We discuss the possibility of the experimental realization. The results provide us a deeper insight of the thermal correlations and may lead to more significant applications in imaging and speckle technologies.

We study theoretically the spatial correlations between the intensities measured at the input and output planes of a disordered scattering medium. We show that at large optical thicknesses, a long-range spatial correlation persists and takes negative values. For small optical thicknesses, short-range and long-range correlations coexist, with relative weights that depend on the optical thickness. These results may have direct implications for the control of wave transmission through complex media by wavefront shaping, thus finding applications in sensing, imaging and information transfer.

We show that an intensity speckle can be directly interpreted as the properties of incident light - amplitude, phase, polarization, and coherency over spatial positions. Revisiting the speckle-correlation scattering matrix (SSM) method [Lee and Park, Nat. Comm. 7, 13359 (2016)], we successfully extract the intact information of incident light from an intensity speckle snapshot as the form of coherency matrix. The idea is verified experimentally by introducing the peculiar states of light that exhibit uneven amplitude, phase, polarization, and coherency features. We also find substantial practical advantage of the proposed method compared to the conventional coherency matrix measuring techniques such as Stokes polarimetry. We believe this physical interpretation of an intensity speckle could open a new avenue to study and to utilize the speckle phenomenon in vast subfields of wave physics.

Using a fully stochastic numerical scheme, we investigate the behaviour of a nanolaser in the low-coherence regime at the transition between spontaneous emission and lasing under the influence of intensity feedback. Studying the input-output curves a s well as the second order correlations for different feedback fractions, we obtain an insight on the role played by the fraction of photons reinjected into the cavity. The interpretation of the observation is strengthened through the comparison with the temporal traces of the emitted photons and with the radiofrequency power spectra. The results give insight into the physics of nanolasers as well as validate the use of the second order autocorrelation as a sufficient tool for the interpretation of the dynamics. This confirmation offers a solid basis for the reliance on autocorrelations in experiments studying the effects of feedback in nanodevices.
We present a method for the measurement of the phase gradient of a wavefront by tracking the relative motion of speckles in projection holograms as a sample is scanned across the wavefront. By removing the need to obtain an un-distorted reference ima ge of the sample, this method is suitable for the metrology of highly divergent wavefields. Such wavefields allow for large magnification factors, that, according to current imaging capabilities, will allow for nano-radian angular sensitivity and nano-scale sample projection imaging. Both the reconstruction algorithm and the imaging geometry are nearly identical to that of ptychography, except that the sample is placed downstream of the beam focus and that no coherent propagation is explicitly accounted for. Like other x-ray speckle tracking methods, it is robust to low-coherence x-ray sources making is suitable for lab based x-ray sources. Likewise it is robust to errors in the registered sample positions making it suitable for x-ray free-electron laser facilities, where beam pointing fluctuations can be problematic for wavefront metrology. We also present a modified form of the speckle tracking approximation, based on a second-order local expansion of the Fresnel integral. This result extends the validity of the speckle tracking approximation and may be useful for similar approaches in the field.
