Informative Content of Statistical Optical Fields, Including Optical Chaos and Singular Optics
We review some new results about recently proposed intrinsic degrees of coherence of partially polarized light.
We show that they can be derived from an invariance principle equivalent to that used to derive the standard
degree of coherence of scalar fields. We compare them with the degree of coherence recently proposed by Wolf.
We illustrate the difference and the complementarity between these two definitions on a simple example of optical
experiment.

Time-dependent elliptic light fields were realized and investigated first. They were created by the dynamic system 'laser
light>LiNbO3:Fe crystal' and measured by the elaborated acquit-action (1s) real-time Stokes polarimetry what insures
measurements of all Stokes components at practically the same state of dynamic system and investigated field. The
interval between cloze-ups (15s) was two orders less then full topological 'life story' of an individual C point pair.
Regularities of singularities topological space-time dynamics of azimuth networks, optical diabolos pairs and handedness
areas were established. It was found that macroscopic (total) development of singular elliptic speckle patterns is
irreversible contrary to fully reversible microscopic (local) transformations of field smooth parts to singular states and
back which occur independent in space and time. Their scenarios contain obligatory pre-nucleation ('embryo') and after-annihilation
('decay') states. Elaborated approach and presented results start dynamic singular optics of time-dependent
elliptic light fields. It has established topological scenario of singularities nucleation/annihilation processes in developing
generic elliptic light fields.

A theoretical approach to the interaction between the polarized light and the polarization devices based on the vectorial and
pure operatorial form of the Pauli algebra is presented. Unlike the standard (Jones and Mueller) approaches, this formalism is
coordinate-free, i.e. it does not appeal to any matrix representation of the involved operators. This approach addresses to
parameters that reveal the internal symmetries of both the polarization devices and the polarization state space. Therefore the
final equations giving the three relevant quantities that characterize the interaction - the gain, the Poincare vector of the
outgoing light and its degree of polarization - are symmetric, compact and physically expressive.

We review the principle of coherence dynamics proposed recently to explain the origin of coherence vortices, which are
the phase singularities in a complex coherence function. Some properties associated with coherence vortex, such as the
coherence current describing the circular contrast flow close to a vortex core and conservation laws of coherence, are
investigated both theoretically and experimentally.

A general study of beams produced by a computer-generated hologram representing a diffraction grating with fringe
bifurcation is presented. Properties of output beams are considered in connection with violation of ideal geometrical
conditions: the input beam shape variations, its shifts and inclinations with respect to the grating. The basic
consequences are: (i) presence the "ripple" structure in both amplitude and phase distributions (especially in the nearfield
zone) caused by diffraction on the phase singularity (bifurcation point); (ii) in contrast to usual Gaussian beams
with exponential amplitude fall-off, diffracted beams demonstrate the power-law decay at the beam periphery; (iii) when
the incident beam axis is shifted from the grating center, an output beam with off-axial optical vortex is formed whose
spatial evolution tends to the pattern of self-similar rotation. Trajectories of featuring points of the generated optical-vortex
beam show regular angular deviation from the nominal positions, which grow with the incident beam shift
magnitude and with topological charge of the vortex produced.

A great number of problems of modern optics need to record a map of the polarization distribution in a light
beam in a real scale of time. At the same time, the conventional ellipsometric techniques [1] do not permit us to solve
these tasks. It stimulates development of new approaches for
measuring polarization states at each point of an optical image
[2,3]. The obtained polarization maps are a good instrument for
studying evolution of polarization singularities.
The aim of this article is to analyze evolution of
polarization singularities in radiation emitted from a 12-modes
circular optical fiber under different conditions of its excitation.

In this paper, the chain of mutual transformations of optical singularities is demonstrated, including coherence singularities,
polarization singularities of different kinds, and phase singularities. It is shown in what a way one can transform
some type of optical singularities into another by changing one of the experimental parameters. Convenient experimental
technique for diagnostics of such singularities is also described. It is shown that some of the considered singularities are
generic ones, while other are non-generic, implying specific experimental conditions.

Topological structure of the polarization resolved conoscopic patterns, calculated theoretically and measured
experimentally for nematic liquid crystal (NLC) cells, is described in terms of polarization singularities, saddle
points and bifurcation lines. The parametric dynamics of the topological network, induced by the variation of the
incident light ellipticity, is analyzed for the nematic cells with uniform and non-uniform director configuration.
Different stages of similar dynamics are observed for homeotropically oriented NLC cell. Non-uniform director
configuration within the cell results in broken central symmentry in the arrangement of the topological network.
Main features of the experimentally obtained polarization resolved conoscopic patterns are the same to the
theoretically predicted ones.

We demonstrated in theory and experiment superluminal properties of optical field propagation in the shadow area
behind an opaque disk (Poisson's spot). The wave front of the field in the shadow zone is initially delayed with respect
to unperturbed field. This phase shift gradually diminishes along the optical path, and therefore insures variation of the
phase velocity of the field at the axis. This fact was verified experimentally by the method of interference with a tilted
reference plane wave. A resulting excess of about c×10-5 was detected. Moreover, the result does not depend on the
frequency of light oscillations. It means that a non-monochromatic field (e.g. short light pulse) will propagate without
dispersion, what insures the equality of the group velocity to the phase velocity, both exceeding c.

The polaritons are generated at passage of an electromagnetic beam in dielectric Fabry-Perot resonator.
The states of polaritons can be treated as ground and excited ones of the quasi-condensate in one- or two-dimensional
models (in a cross plane of the resonator). The spectrum of the weak excitations of the quasi-condensate
looks like Bogolubov spectrum. The quantum vortices with different topological charges are formed in
the polariton quasi-condensate into the dielectric medium. The excitations of polariton quasi-condensate formed
the spatial waves with zeros of amplitude on the transverse axes on the mirrors of dielectric Fabry-Perot resonator.
There are the inhomogeneities of the permeability in the shape of a superlattice with variable thickness in the
dielectric medium appeared by the powerful electromagnetic pump wave. The shape of the superlattice can be
controlled by the external electrostatic field. Impinging on the surface of film the weakly signal wave scatters at
the superlattice. The bands of "allowed" and "forbidden" frequencies of the signal wave spectrum take place. Such
dielectric film represents one-dimensional controllable photonic crystal. The pump wave shapes the superlattice in
the rectangular dielectric resonator, i.e. two-dimensional controllable photonic crystal is formed.

The model of intermediately rough surface as the specific anti-reflection layer is presented for explaining the coloring of
the regular component of a white-light beam forward scattered by a colorless glass with such surface. It is shown that
this model predicts the sequence of colors of the forward scattered component of a white-light beam that is observed in
practice. New experimental arguments supported this approach are provided.

In this paper it is shown, that for modulation of path difference it is useful to use symmetrical sawtooth dependence of
path difference in time of order about a wavelength of an optical spectrum. The realization of such temporary
dependence is carried out with the help of piesoceramics and generator of symmetrical sawtooth impulses. The use of
symmetrical impulse essentially simplifies technical realization of phase modulation in a comparison with asymmetric
impulse, which was used earlier.
It is shown, that the greatest value of a resonance amplification is received when the amplitude of phase modification of
path difference is multiple wavelength.

The use of a field of polarization waves for revealing and analysis of optical unhomogeneities that are in volume or on a surface of optically homogeneous mediums is justified in this paper. It is shown, that at the presence of phase and amplitude inhomogeneities the scattered wave accepts a variable component of intensity with the certain spectrum of frequencies, which will depend on a concrete type of phase modulation and scatteriung properties of the medium. The use of this method for anisotropic inhomogeneities monitoring in the small-angle scattering is theoretically investigated. The formation of a scattered wave frequency dependence under two types of phase modulation, described by harmonic and triangle-like dependencies, is analyzed.

We consider experimentally the evolution of polarization singularities in singular beams transmitting at some angle
to the optical axis of the LiNb03 crystals. We focused our attention on the processes of birth and annihilation of coupled
singularities and compared them with those in a computer-simulation experiment. The conditions of the unfolding of the
polarization singularities were brought to light. A number of difficulties arising in the course of the experiment are
discussed.

The influence of the coaxially imposed reference wave on the spectrum of space frequencies of a restored image is
experimentally investigated.
It is shown, that the spectrum of space frequencies of a restored field from specklogram without a reference field is
characterized by the greatest breadth. At the magnification of intensity of a reference beam the breadth of a space
frequency spectrum decreases.

Two issues will be treated in this presentation, both focusing on gaining a deeper understanding of dynamic speckles,
aiming at the use for probing dynamical properties of scattering structures. The first issue to be addressed is the
dynamics of speckles arising from illuminating a solid surface giving rise to fully developed speckle with two mutually
separated beams. It will be shown that usually the speckle pattern will consist of larger speckles with an inherent fine
structure, each of which will usually be moving with different velocity. Next, the dynamics of the speckle pattern arising
from scattering off a diffuser as seen through a second static diffuser is analyzed. Here, it is shown that the second and
static diffuser will act as a pivot point about which the speckles will move. This facilitates a scaling of the speckle
displacement facilitating a very minute measurement of the displacement of the first diffuser.

Studies of phase singularities in wavefields typically consider only monochromatic or deterministic wavefields.
When the wavefield is partially coherent, field singularities are not well defined and one must turn instead to the
study of singularities of correlation functions. It has been demonstrated by a number of researchers that there is
an intimate link between correlation singularities and the field singularities of the corresponding fully coherent
field. Here we investigate this connection further by theoretically constructing fields which contain both field
and correlation singularities.

Light information devices were created a long time before the information theory was developed, and the features of these devices were described by the common optical characteristics. However, these characteristics look insufficient for these devices information abilities definition, and the need for specific information characteristics has become apparant. Along with that, the common methods for optical characteristics estimation must be applied for the definition of information characteristics. It has been necessary to compare some optical characteristics (input signal value expressed in amplitude and phase, resolving power, signal distribution by light wavelengths or color components, by polarization plane position, and by time intervals) with the information ones. In order to come to information characteristics, it was necessary to perform optical signal and object (and image) light field digitization. In this work we discuss and compare different methdos of the signal and image light field division into different componenets (freedom degrees): determined, statistical, and system-based.

The Fraunhofer diffraction on the set of identical holes with the same shape and size is investigated. It is shown that the
intensity distribution could be decomposed on two parts. One of them contains information about size and shape of
elementary hole. Second one gives information about mutual position of all holes. The spectrum of second component
allows to evaluate the degree of holes ordering.

Dynamics of powerful femtosecond singular-phase pulsed beams in a dielectric medium under the ionization

regime of pulse propagation over distances exceeding five diffraction length. Use of the singular beams allows one to
reach the larger densities of the light field and generated plasma.

3-D optical fluorescent microscopy becomes now an efficient tool for volume investigation of living biological samples.
Developments in instrumentation have permit to beat off the conventional Abbe limit, in any case the recorded image
can be described by the convolution equation between the original object and the Point Spread Function (PSF) of the
acquisition system. If the goal is 3-D quantitative analysis, whether you improve the instrument capabilities, or (and)
you restore the data. These last is until now the main task in our laboratory. Based on the knowledge of the optical
Transfer Function of the microscope, deconvolution algorithms were adapted to automatic determine the regularisation
threshold in order to give less subjective and more reproducible results. The PSF represents the properties of the image
acquisition system; we have proposed the use of statistical tools and Zernike moments to describe a 3-D system PSF and
to quantify the variation of the PSF. This first step toward standardization is helpful to define an acquisition protocol
optimizing exploitation of the microscope depending on the studied biological sample.
We have pointed out that automating the choice of the regularization level; if it facilitates the use, it also greatly
improves the reliability of the measurements. Furthermore, to increase the quality and the repeatability of quantitative
measurements a pre-filtering of images improves the stability of deconvolution process. In the same way, the PSF pre-filtering
stabilizes the deconvolution process. We have shown that Zernike polynomials can be used to reconstruct
experimental PSF, preserving system characteristics and removing the noise contained in the PSF.
Fluorescent microscopes suffer from limitations; photobleaching and phototoxicity effects, or influence of the sample
optical properties to 3-D observation. Amplitude and phase of the object can be reached with optical tomography based
on a combination of microholography with a tomographic illumination. So indices cartography of the specimen can be
obtained, and combined with fluorescence information it will open new possibilities in 3-D optical microscopy.

Analysis of images of moving liquid-gas boundaries in porous samples (sheets of paper) under white light and coherent
illumination was used to study the scaling properties of growing interfaces near the pinning condition. The obtained
images were digitized and processed in order to obtain the local and global parameters of interface mobility at different
stages of interface growth. At early stage of growth, the interface dynamics is characterized by the familiar Lucas-Washburn (LW) equation, which describes continuous-like motion of interface. At the late stage of growth, near the
pinning condition, the interface motion exhibits the deviation from LW model, which is the result of pronounced discrete
character of interface evolution. The developed technique of imbibition analysis can be applied to structural study of
porous media of various nature.

Speckle method of characterization of multiple scattering media with the use of frequency modulation of probe light is
considered. This method assumes the analysis of oscillation index of the timeaveraged speckle patterns in the
dependence of the frequency modulation depth. In the case of binary modulation, the oscillation index of the detected
light is defined by the cosine Fourier transform of the path length density of propagating photons in the medium.
Experimental verification of the considered technique with the use of phantom scatterers (Teflon films and rutile powder
layers) showed the good agreement between the retrieved and simulated photon path distributions in probed media.

The paper describes the applications of micro- or nano-field emitters to a novel and compact light source. We have
developed a compact pulse x-ray tube and demonstrated high-speed x-ray radiography images. We have also developed
the electron-beam pumped ultraviolet (UV) light source consisting of a field emitter and a Si electron transparent film.
This light source clearly showed a light emission due to Xe excimers in a vacuum UV region. In addition to them, we
have successfully demonstrated Smith-Purcell radiation using a field emitter in a near infrared region.

Liquid nematic crystals are nowadays more often used to change the polarization and/or phase and amplitude of
impinging light wave. Nematic liquid crystals valves (LCLV) are also called SLM (Spatial Light Modulator) or LCVR
(Liquid Crystal Variable Retarder). This paper will show the different steps required to get a procedure (optical
mounting and computing software) enabling the use of LCLV in the output beam of the laser coupled with a 3D speckle
interferometry set-up. This LCLV generates the phase shifts between the reference and object beams. The calibration
set-up is made of a Mach Zender interferometer with the LCLV in one arm. Interference fringes are obtained and
recorded with a CCD camera as LCLV voltage is increased. The fringe processing is achieved with a slice analysis in the
Fourier domain. Required phase shifts are then implemented in the phase shifting software. The existing set-up already
uses a phase shifter composed by a moving mirror driven by a piezoelectric transducer (PZT). Results of the calibration
are compared between piezoelectric device and LCVR. The phase shifting rate and resulting phase error shows the main
advantages of the LCVR.

A possibility of image recording as a distribution of intrinsic concentration heterogeneities in a photopolymerizable
composition was investigated. A diffusion model for process of such heterogeneities self-formation in the PPC was
suggested. Both, the process of composition polymerization and nonlinear refraction of influencing radiation were
established to accompany the increasing of these heterogeneities amplitude by several orders. At that, their characteristic
size, determined by non-stationary diffusion, depends on the intensity of the influencing radiation and varies in the range
from some microns up to hundreds of microns. Evolution dynamics of the spatial spectrums of the PPC intrinsic
heterogeneities and their dependence on the recording radiation intensity are investigated. Optical schemes for creating
and projecting of such polymeric scattering filters are represented.

Process of optical creation of relief holograms from photopolymerizable compositions (PPC) was investigated
theoretically and experimentally. Additional neutral components were suggested to use in the mix of the PPC. They are
not concerned in the polymerization reaction, but allow increase the relief amplitude of polymeric holograms. A
diffusion model was constructed for the process of these additives redistribution in not-uniformly polymerizing
mediums. The model considers the polymer mobility in the initial stage of photopolymerization. It was shown, that
neutral components, such as alcohol, are the most suitable for the optical formation of relief polymeric holograms. At the
polymerization they spread themselves effectively, and owing to their high volatility any complementary treatments to
make surface relief of a hologram are not necessary. The experimental results are represented for the relief holograms
recording in the PPC, containing butyl alcohol.

The influence of weak external magnetic fields on the conditions of optical bistability (OB) realization in the field of
exciton absorption in layer semiconductors has been investigated theoretically. Using the 2H-polytype of PbI2 as an
example, it is shown that by changing the intensity of the external magnetic field it is possible to obtain the OB realization
region without changing the excitation laser frequency. It is also possible to control effectively the position and size of the
hysteresis absorption loop caused by the existence of several exciton zones and due to the peculiar features of the layer
crystal structure.

The computer simulation of scattering of light by fractal clusters is carried out. It has been established that temporal
space of the scattered radiation field holds the fractal properties of cluster. Empirical diagnostic interconnections have
been found between the statistic and stochastic parameters of intensity fluctuation of the scattered radiation field, on the
one hand, and the parameters of light-scattering cluster, on the other hand.

The methods of correlation optics are for the first time applied to study structure of liquid crystal (LC) - polymer (P)
composites at various concentrations of LC and P. Their phase correlation function (PCF) was obtained considering LC-P
composite as a random phase screen. The amplitude of PCF contains information about number of LC domains and
structure of LC director inside of them, while a half-width of this function is connected with a size of these domains. We
studied unpowered and powered composite layers with a thickness of 5 μm. As liquid crystal and polymer were used
nematic LC E7 from Merck and photopolymer composition NOA65 from Norland. Concentration of polymer φP was varied
in a range 10-55 vol. %. In good agreement with previous studies by SEM technique we detected monotone decrease of LC
domains with concentration of polymer. With application of electric field, amplitude of PCF behaves differently for the
samples with different polymer content. For the samples with φP >35 vol. % (samples having morphology of polymer
dispersed LC), this dependence is monotonic. In turn, if φP <35 vol. % (samples with polymer network LC morphology), the
amplitude of PCF non-monotonically depends on the applied voltage going through a maximum. The latter fact is explained
by transformation of orientational defects of LC phase with the applied voltage.

Acousto-optic tunable filters (AOTF) as well as optical components with strong chromatic aberration are used in the mock-up of surface profilometer. The basic parameter of such device is resolving power by z-distance which has to be defined according to certain criterion. This criterion, in its turn, is defined by the admissible probability to miss the information unit regarding the object characterization in z-distance. The results of experiments are discussed from the point of view of the AOTF possibilities to increase the z-distance resolving power in comparison with the existing systems. Such results as the 90%-probability distinguishing of defocusing while electric frequency variation of 200 kHz, can be considered as serious advantage. The perspectives of the further improvement of information transmission by such a device are discusssed. It has been found that this improvement can be attained by means of noise level decreasing to the taking place for electric frequency of 94 MHz.

The precision of lattice parameter determination can be significantly risen providing superposition of closely set maxima
at Renninger-scan, which are in addition structure and spectral sensitive. This superposition can be achieved by means of
lattice parameters change or wavelenght variation. We have realized that in the cases of coincidental coplanar or
noncoplanar multiple x-ray diffraction. We have studied evolution of an angular distance between diffraction maxima
near the range of coincidental multiple x-ray diffraction depending on stochiometric composition and temperature of
sample. It has been shown that sensitivity of multiple diffraction is Δφ/Δa≈13.3 sec of arc /10-6 Å in the region of
coincidental coplanar or noncoplanar x-ray diffraction.

Methods of two- and three-crystal X-ray high-resolution diffractometry were used to investigate structural changes
in Cz-Si single crystals irradiated with high-energy electrons (E=18 MeV). The results of experimental investigation
were interpreted by means of a generalized dynamic theory of X-ray diffraction in real crystals with randomly

The results of X-ray AFM, SEM, and SIMS studies of near-surface regions of HgCdTe graded-gap epitaxial layers
obtained by high-temperature annealing in vapour of the main components have been presented. We used ISOVPE
layers of HgCdTe grown on CdTe substrates the surface of which was implanted by As ions. The AFM investigation has
shown that the morphology of surfaces of HgCdTe structures obtained at the same conditions is significantly influenced
by the crystal orientation of the initial substrates of CdTe. By means of SIMS and SEM analysis a substantial increase of
the molar content of HgCdTe solid solution on the surface of ion-implanted epitaxial layers after high-temperature
annealing has been observed. It is shown that large gradients of composite HgCdTe solid solution are formed in the near-surface
regions of the epitaxial layers due to small changes in the thermodynamically equilibrium conditions of the
process of high-temperature annealing.

The paper studies the influence of mechanical treatment-deformed near-surface crystal layer of silicon surfaces on photoelectric
properties of semiconductor optical radiation detectors made on the above surfaces. This layer is removed by
the method of ion etching of surfaces by vacuum glow discharge. The basic parameters and characteristics of detectors
made on reconstructed surfaces are studied, namely: power characteristic nonlinearity and its dynamic range, luxampere
characteristic, dark current and spectral characteristic. Considerable positive effect of such etching on the above parameters
and characteristics is established, allowing widely expanded application of these photodetectors in optical investigations.

Optical Correlation Devices Based on Diffractive Optical Elements, Including Optical and Digital Holography, Fractal Optics, and Optical Sensors
Uses of correlation functions of speckle patterns and the complex amplitude reconstructed by digital holography in
measurements of shape and deformation of rough surfaces are described. First, theoretical relationships for correlation
properties of the scattered light are surveyed. They consist of speckle displacement and decorrelation. Speckle
displacement is applied to measurement of strain by a laser-speckle strain gauge and a speckle extensometer. Speckle
decorrelation is used for the measurements of surface roughness and monitoring of paint drying process. The cross-correlation
coefficient of the complex amplitude, named here, the complex coherence factor can be calculated in digital
holography and used for measurement of surface shape and deformation. It is shown that these approaches are immune to speckle noise.

Conventional optics is diffraction limited to about half of the effective optical wavelength. However the current trend
towards miniaturization of optical elements and devices requires methods of observation with high spatial resolutions
adapted to the micrometer and submicrometer optical regime. More specifically, the use of Scanning near-field optical
microscope (SNOM or NSOM) in various domains is overviewed. Basically an optical tip with a subwavelength
aperture at its apex scans over a surface with a spatial resolution, which is not limited by light diffraction. This
characteristic makes SNOM a valuable tool to perform various optical or spectroscopic studies on nanoobjects, such as
semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), or to address them optically. The paper reviews different methods of far-field and
near-field approach to visualize nano-size objects.

We raise an issue whether phase singularities are foes or friends in optical metrology, and give an answer by introducing
the principle and applications of a new technique which we recently proposed for displacement and flow measurements.
The technique is called optical vortex metrology because it makes use of the unique characteristics of phase singularities
as markers or tracers for the displacement and flow measurements. The phase singularities are created in the complex
signal representation of a speckle-like random pattern, which is generated by means of a vortex filer operating a Riesz or
Laguerre-Gauss transform to the random pattern.

The X-ray 3D CT data were detected by the CdTe semiconductor special detector which can obtain the energy
information of X-ray photon, and it is developed by our laboratory. In order to display this complete 3D
information with internal data of objects, the multi-color holographic reconstruction system was composed, and
the reconstruction of X-ray 3D CT data were examined in this paper. In this system, the electro-holography and
the computer generated holography was employed to display holographic images. In this case, we used the liquid
crystal display panel as the spatial light modulator for displaying a hologram, and we developed the simulator
to calculate a hologram of an X-ray 3D CT input data. Finally, it could represent effectively with three primary
colors, and understand easier the internal structure of objects.

In this paper the theoretical background and basic principles of Low Coherence Speckle Interferometry (LCSI) are
described. Furthermore the main parts of our research work are briefly introduced; (1) the development of a dual
wavelength, open-path LCSI setup (2) the introduction of a new method for the detection of zero path length difference
for temporal phase shifting (3) the optimisation of the optical parameters of LCSI to increase the probing depth (beam
ratio, position of the coherence layer and imaging parameters) (4) the fundamental understanding of the measurement
effect and quantification of the measurements using a one-dimensional transmission line model. Finally, LCSI is
introduced as a tool for characterisation of adhesion. In this work fundamental studies on interfacial instabilities in
adhesive bonded aluminium joints are carried out. The basic hypothesis is that low adhesion is due to the existence of
microscopic delaminations at the interface between the substrate and the adhesive. These delaminations can be caused
by imperfect pre-treatment, surface topography or other surface phenomena (e.g. corrosion, inter-metallic particles,
etc.).

We analyse the silver multilayer superlens as a modulating photonic device for spatial reshapment of circularly
polarised light beams. The silver flat lens of Pendry and its generalisations to multilayer structures have been
primarily introduced for in-plane perfect near-field imaging that includes a limited range of evanescent spatial
harmonics of the field. In this paper, using the fully vectorial transfer matrix method we analyse the two-dimensional
impulse response of the imperfect superlens for spatial and temporal filtering of the optical signal
and on this basis investigate the way it modifies the shape of the beam.

We present a review of recent achievements in nanoscale optical devices based on energy transport with surface
plasmon-polaritons and localized surface plasmons. Chains of metal subwavelength-size particles and stripes are used to
build straight waveguides, s-bends, y-junctions and beam shaping devices. Strong enhancement of near-field in
nanogaps between particles leads to efficient light emission from such nanoantennas. Development of surface plasmon
nanoptics stimulates further progress in near-field imaging. To improve resolution of scanning near-field optical
microscope (SNOM) it is necessary to improve light throughput in tapered metal-coated SNOM probes. This is
achievable due to resonant surface plasmons that propagate in corrugated probes.

The optical vortex interferometer (OVI) generates regular lattice of optical vortices. As in standard two beam
interferometry the sample under measurements is introduced into one of the interferometer arm, which changes the
vortex lattice geometry and position. These changes can be measured and recomputed to the values of physical
quantities characterizing the sample. In this paper an overview of OVI configurations as well as basic properties is
given. The other solutions based on the three or more plane waves' interference field are also presented in brief.

We conduct a theoretical analysis of two models of transformation the spatial coherency transformation of the radiation
propagating in the multi-mode waveguide. For each of them we obtain analytical relations connecting the number of
spatially-coherent modes of the radiation appearing in the waveguide, parameters of the incoming radiation and the
characteristics of the waveguide. We assess the efficiency of the radiation de correlation at various initial spatial statistics
of the radiation and its quasi-nonstationary non-linear interaction with the waveguide's core. We find that the main factor
limiting the de-correlation level of the light beams in the multi-mode waveguide with quartz core is the excitation of the
Raman scattering. Raman scattering decreases the effective intensity of the radiation at the original frequency and the
changes the dynamics of the phase-amplitude transformation of light.

We conduct a theoretical analysis of the Stokes component mode structure of the Raman scattering. The Raman
scattering is excited in a multimode waveguide with pump radiation having statistics corresponding to the model of the
narrow-band Gaussian noise. We obtain an analytical relation connecting the number of spatially coherent modes of the
Stokes component, characteristics of the waveguide and conditions of the Raman scattering excitation. It follows from
the obtained relation that the Raman scattering spatial coherency degree at the waveguide's exit is determined by the
number of the spatial modes of pump radiation and the amplification of the Stokes radiation throughout the waveguide's
length. There exists a threshold in the amplification corresponding to the unlimited increase of the number of the
spatially coherent modes of the Raman scattering and therefore to a zero of spatial coherency. Conducted estimations
show that at the Raman scattering threshold value of the radiation intensity the number of the spatially coherent modes of
the Raman scattering Stokes component should be comparable to that of the thermal source. Experimentally, measured
dispersion of the spatial intensity fluctuations of the Stokes component isolated with an interference filter (spectral
bandwidth ~ 1nm, λ = 620nm) is three time smaller than that of the luminescent lamp radiation.

One of the main constituent parts of optical coherent measuring apparatus is laser as source with stable performance of
frequency, radiation intensity, and light beam uniformity. At present time semiconductor lasers are rather attractive devices
in view of there low prices, small size, serviceability. Progress in its quality leads to including them not only in lightheads,
but as lighting unit in measuring apparatus. In order to guarantee accuracy of measuring instruments, all parts of them must
have stable performance, and in this respect semiconductor laser demand stabilization more that one characteristic quantity
at once. And frequency stability on the one hand is overwhelmingly important for constancy of optical measuring
instruments, on the other hand our investigations show that its regulatory control is very arduous task. Both holographic
methods and phase modulated speckle interferometry clearly recognize smooth frequency shift and frequency jumping
depending on pumping current and temperature. And for repeatability it's required to return both of them. So it is necessary
laser frequency testing during working. For interferometric comparison circuit it is frequency variation that exerts influence
on fringes pattern generation, so just this parameter should be traced in the course of measuring. Specially prepared test
object, introduced in holographic scheme, allows to uncover frequency variation, if they had have place, and to reproduce
coherence function of laser source. Complicated coherence function of semiconductor lasers can destroy interference pattern
or foul the interpretation of it. So this coherence calibration is also very useful for results validity. Phase modulated speckle
interferometry method allows to build phase correlation portraits, analogical to interferograms, hence multiwavelength
contour generation masks the picture of intrinsic object information too. Both real wavelength change and nonresolution
area, when coherence length is less then path-length difference, may be obtained with the help of known wedge incline near
the measured object. Since measured and testing image will be entered at the same time, test results will be applied in
interpretation of measurement results. Thus on-line testing of laser characteristic quantities allows using unstable sources
and increasing of measurement precision.

The modification of the wavefront registration scheme for the purpose of the sensor spatial resolution improvement is
considered. It's proposed to use the focused laser beam for illumination of the separate area of the surface, which after
the optical transformation in Fourier optics scheme forms the signal in the sensors plane that is proportional to the
spectrum of the spatial frequencies of the surface shape. At the same time the spatial resolution in the surface plane is
determined by the sensor aperture, but not the spatial resolution of its lenslet array. The theoretical analysis and computer
simulation of the wavefront sensor work for the local inhomogeneities determination of thereflective surface is realized.
For obtaining the submicron spatial resolution of the sensor it is proposed to classify the surface micro areas by the
multidimensional statistical analysis methods.

Considered is a correlation method of forming of specified distribution of radiation energy over the target,
particularly in the optical tweezers wand. The method exploits an interaction of beforehand spatially modulated in phase
wand beam with synthesized hologram specific to the modulation. The specified energy distribution is obtained as the
convolution of the required field distribution and of cross-correlation function of the ideal wand beam and the real one.
Because of beams wave fronts modulation the result of such a convolution is weakly dependent on the difference of the
ideal and the real beams. Examined is the possibility of dynamic operation mode involving the spatial light modulation
(SLM) device.

A modified IFT-algorithm of synthesis of a kinoform is presented. In this method, two object-dependent filters
(the amplitude (A) filter and the phase (P) one) are formed in the object plane in the process of iteration,
rather than one phase filter, as usual. Both these filters participate in the formation of the phase structure of a
kinoform. The use of two degrees of freedom (A, P) in the object plane instead of one degree (P) accelerates the
convergence of the IFT-algorithm and allows one to reach significantly less values of the amplitude variance in
a reconstructed image as compared with those within the available methods. The results of optical and model
experiments confirming the efficiency of the method are given. It is found that the method is most efficient for
binary objects. The method is generalized to the case of off-axis kinoforms. A simple method to introduce the
carrier frequency into the structure of an axial kinoform is proposed. An image reconstructed by an off-axis
kinoform is free from the noises with zero and close frequencies caused by the nonideality of both the phase
mode of operation of a SLM and the effects of quantization of the registered phase.

New Applications of Correlation Optics in Biology and Medicine
The paper presents a practical study of several methods of image analysis applied to polarimetric images of regular and
malignant human tissues. The images of physiological and pathologically changed tissues from body and cervix of
uterus, intestine, kidneys and breast were recorded in transmitted light of different polarization state. The set up of the
conventional optical microscope with CCD camera and rotating polarizer's were used for analysis of the polarization
state of the light transmitted through the tissue slice for each pixel of the camera image. The set of images corresponding
to the different coefficients of the Stockes vectors, a 3×3 subset of the Mueller matrix as well as the maps of the
magnitude and in-plane direction of the birefringent components in the sample were calculated. Then, the statistical
analysis and the Fourier transform as well as the autocorrelation methods were used to analyze spatial distribution of
birefringent elements in the tissue samples. For better recognition of tissue state we proposed a novel method that takes
advantage of multiscale image data decomposition The results were used for selection of the optical characteristics with
significantly different values for regular and malignant tissues.

The interrelation between the state of polarization of local zones of object field and the value of inclination angle of skin
epidermis plates has been found in the single scattering approximation. The technique of polarization reconstruction of
coordinate distribution of inclination angles of surface micro-irregularities of skin epidermis has been suggested.
Statistics of the 1st-4th orders of optical-geometric properties of rough surface of physiologically normal and
pathologically changed skin has been analyzed. It was shown that microrelief of the sound skin surface has fractal
angular structure. Pathological changes cause random distribution of inclination angles of micro-irregularities of the skin
surface.

The correlation between the topological and the statistical approaches to describe inhomogeneously polarized optical
fields is considered. Two main models describing coordinate distributions of polarization parameters within the topological
approach, viz. the "island" model and the "toy-in-toy" one are experimentally proven. It is shown that the correlation
length of polarization parameters of the field is comparable with the mean distance between points with orthogonal states
of polarization.

The interconnection between geometry of biotissue structure with their polarization properties has been studied. It has
been shown that for physiologically normal biotissues polarization properties of radiation scattered on architectonic nets
formed by protein fibrils possess the fractal character. Pathological changes of biotissues architectonics are accompanied
with the transformation of self-similar structure of Mueller-matrix images into stochastic and statistic ones.

Among inorganic components of urine are salts of oxalate, urate and phosphatic compositions. The investigation of this
components is of a great importance for preventing or medical treatment of kidney stone disease. Wide used for today
infrared and Raman spectroscopy have a limited application. It is connected with such aspects as: time-consuming, often
hampered by pellet breakage and interpretation of spectra for quantifying urinary calculus constituents in mixtures is
difficult, requiring expert knowledge by trained technicians, can not be applied to the substances that consist of light mass
atoms. We propose a new method for detection of kidney stones type. It is based on luminescent properties of inorganic
components of urine. The luminescent and IR spectra of dry phosphatic tailings of urine are analyzed. The explanation of the
nature of watched luminescence is proposed.

The thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) of normal and pathological urine was studied. The presence of
pathological salts leads to extinguishing of TSL intensity and to the appearance of additional stripes with maxima nearly
118 and 205K, except of characteristic stripes with the maxima nearly 173 and 260K. TSL stripes depend on urine
constituents. The comparison of TSL intensity of normal and pathological urine is carried out and energies of thermal
activation are determined for most intensive TSL stripes.

There have been given the results of the spectrophotometric examination of the dogs' and rats' venous and whole blood
plasma taken in the process of the peritonitis progressing within the spectral interval λ = 220 - 320 nm (for plasma)
and λ = 350 - 610 nm (for the whole blood). It has been defined that D-optical density values in the field of the long-waved
maximum of plasma absorption intensity of the venous blood at λ = 280 nm depend upon the intensity of the
inflammatory process and also upon the circumstances against the background of which it started to progress. It was
found out that the dynamics of D= values changes for λ = 540 (or 570) nm in the process of the peritonitis progressing
in case of the whole blood taken from a portal vein is a mirror symmetrical if to compare to the same dynamics for the
blood from cava inferior. The defined conformities with regularities may have a diagnostic meaning. It was also found
out that the biggest influence upon the dynamics of D-values at λ = 280nm of the venous blood plasma has the content of
the circulating immune complexes, necrosis factor of α-tumors and interleukin - 2, the changes of which explain for
almost on 100% the distribution of the optical density parameters and what proves a possible immunologic explanation
of its changes.

A new mechanism of memory cell formation on structural biological units of the
α-helical protein molecules is suggested
in this work. The role of Frenkel excitons and "Davydov splitting" in the resonance mechanism of external excitation
energy transmission along peptide groups is defined. Using the Green function method was obtained the theoretical bases of
the protein cell absorptive power formation under external laser irradiation. The polarization peculiarities of
α - protein
exciton excitations at such levels of pumping, which allow to obtain a complex outlet signal reaction, were studied. Protein
molecules can serve as perspective material for observing the effect of optical bistability. The results of the performed
investigations permit to develop one of the lines of the molecular engineering technologies - the creation of molecular
memory devices by controlling the laser radiation of the outlet protein molecule.

Considering propagation of radiation through light-scattering layers (such as paints, photomaterials, foils, skin etc.), one
usually finds out the total energy absorbed by the layer using any experimental, analytical or computational methods. It
is insufficient for solving some practical problems. It is important to know the distribution of the absorbed energy among
disperse layer components, i.e. among a disperse phase and a bulk. The results of computation by Monte-Carlo technique
of absorption of radiation for a blood as a whole, and separately for plasma and for erythrocyte. Computations were
performed for wavelength λ=633 nm.

The phenomenon of a laser light scattering on calf eye lenses at the diminution of their temperature is investigated in this
paper. It is shown, that at the cooling of eye lens nucleus cytoplasm the scattered light speckle patterns change from
small-sized speckles two large-sized speckles. Between those two phases the intermediate phase with elongated oriented
speckles is observed. The possibility of using of autocorrelation function and its integration sum for scatterd laser light
speckle pattern investigation is analyzed.
