Abstract

AbstractThe capacity of self-healing fields to reconstruct after passing through scattering media may prove useful in reducing speckle formation. Here, we study the speckle response of the space–time (ST) light sheet compared to a Gaussian wave packet, Airy beam, and Bessel Gauss beam. We find that the Pearson’s correlation coefficient for the ST light sheet is 50%, 48% and 40% larger than that of the Gaussian, Airy beam and Bessel Gauss beams, respectively, demonstrating a strong correlation to an input beam that has not been speckled. These results suggest that the ST light sheet exhibits considerable resistance to speckle generation. We also investigate the speckle response of the ST light sheet at its second-harmonic frequency and observe a mean Pearson’s correlation coefficient close to 0.6, comparable to the second-harmonic Bessel Gauss beam, and 2.8 × the value obtained for the second-harmonic Gaussian beam. Our results lend themselves to a variety of applications including bioimaging, communications, and optical tweezers.
