▼ Phase shifting interferometry is a common method to measure wavefronts affected by optical elements. Phase shifting interferometers are not linear shift-invariant (LSI), yet they are often approximated to be when using the resulting phase as an equivalent of the surface. This is because they can be approximated as LSI under the proper circumstances, which is when most measurements are taking place. This thesis uses the fact that a sine wave is the eigenfunction of a linear shift invariant system. The output for a sinusoidal input is calculated, and the conditions under which the output is not sinusoidal are determined. The sinusoidal quality, or “sininess error” of the output is based on the output sinusoid’s frequency, as that should not change based on eigenfunction properties. When the sininess error is large, this indicates a non sinusoidal output, which means the LSI approximation is not a good approximation to use. The results from the above calculation are checked using a numerical simulation based on imaging. Both methods supported the same conclusion. In addition, a simplified calculation was derived by making some assumptions and approximations. While the quality of this approximation degrades under certain circumstances, it helps approximate the sininess error in a quick manner without cumbersome equations. Finally, an experimental verification was performed by measuring a sinusoidal phase object with a phase shifting interferometer that was configured to violate the LSI approximation. The experimental results match the predictions, demonstrating that interferometers cannot always be approximated as LSI. The results of the experiment also prove that the calculations are correct. While this thesis proves that phase shifting interferometers are not LSI, they are still usually approximated as LSI. Most who use phase shifting interferometers are measuring well polished optical surfaces, which are in a region where sininess error is extremely low. Therefore, the LSI approximation works unless a person is measuring an irregular surface, such as a deep sinusoidal grating.

▼ This dissertation serves as a general introduction to Wigner functions, phase space, and quantum metrology but also strives to be useful as a how-to guide for those who wish to delve into the realm of using continuous variables, to describe quantum states of light and optical interferometry. We include many of the introductory elements one needs to appreciate the advantages of this treatment as well as show many examples in an effort to make this dissertation more friendly. In the initial segment of this dissertation, we focus on the advantages of Wigner functions and their use to describe many quantum states of light. We focus on coherent states and squeezed vacuum with a Mach Zehnder Interferometer for many of our examples, also used by experiments such as advanced LIGO. Later, we will also analyze this setup in more detail with a full example including the effects of many noise sources such as phase drift, photon loss, inefficient detectors, and thermal noise. In this setup, we also show the optimal measurement scheme, which is currently not employed in experiment. Throughout our metrology discussions, we will also discuss various quantum limits and use quantum Fisher information to show optimal bounds. When applicable, we also discuss the use of quantum Gaussian information and how it relates to our Wigner function treatment. The remainder of our discussion focuses on investigating the effects of photon addition and subtraction to various states of light and analyze the nondeterministic nature of this process. We use examples of m photon additions to a coherent state as well as discuss the properties of an m photon subtracted thermal state. We also provide an argument that this process must always be a nondeterministic one, or the ability to violate quantum limits becomes apparent. We show that using phase measurement as one's metric is much more restrictive, which limits the usefulness of photon addition and subtraction. When we consider SNR however, we show improved SNR statistics, at the cost of increased measurement time. In this case of SNR, we also quantify the efficiency of the photon addition and subtraction process.

▼ Chiral magnetic lattice shows exotic physical properties such as spin ice/spin liquid order, topological insulators, magneto-electric coupling, and so on. Essentially, all these fascinating phenomena have strongly related to their peculiar spin arrangement, i.e. spiral, conical and helical. The chiral magnetic lattice of Cu2OSeO3 exhibit such kind of unique magnetic ordering where spins configured into a vortex-like pattern called as skyrmion. Cu2OSeO3 exhibits ferrimagnetic ordering around 56 K. Below magnetic ordering, under moderate magnetic field the spin orientation transfer from helical to conical phase via intermediate skyrmions phase. In this thesis, we study the influence of isovalent doping on the Skyrmion phase of Cu2OSeO3. The polycrystalline (Cu1-XNiX)2OSeO3 (x = 0.0 to 0.1) samples were prepared by standard solid-state method. Temperature (T) and field (H) dependent AC susceptibility (ï£ï¢ac) technique was employed to study the H-T phase diagram. From ï£ï¢ac vs. T measurement, we found the transition temperature (TC) shifts to low temperature as the Ni doping level increases. A second magnetic peak noticed below TC for doping concentration x > 0.03. Field dependent magnetization (M-H) curves indicate the nominal change of saturation magnetization, which hints the Ni randomly occupy the Cu(I) and Cu(II) positions. H-T phase diagram for all the samples constructed using the ï£ï¢ac vs. H curves at the different temperatures. Several significant changes noticed from the H-T phase diagram. First, the conical phase boundary enhances from 806.22 Oe (x = 0) to 996.42 Oe (x = 0.1) at 45 K, whereas small decrease in helical boundary noticed with increase of Ni doping concentration. Interestingly, Ni doping strongly influence the skyrmion zone, the skyrmion zone systematically enhances with the doping concentration x = 0.06. For x â¥ 0.08, a split in the skyrmion zone has been noticed. Our detailed experimental results signifies that the magnetic ion doping in the Cu2OSeO3 strongly modulate the complex magnetic interaction of Cu(I) and Cu(II) that stabilize the skyrmion phase in wider temperature interval in the H-T phase diagram.

▼ Condensation of petroleum retrograde gas especially around the wellbore in unconventional reservoirs can decrease well deliverability significantly. Better estimation of the dew point helps to improve production by minimizing the condensate dropout. Over geologic time, organic matter deposited in source rocks turns into oil and gas through a maturation process. These hydrocarbons then migrate away from source rock due to pressure, and find structural or stratigraphic traps and form conventional reservoirs. In unconventional reservoirs such as tight oil and shale gas, hydrocarbons were generated in source rocks with extremely low permeability. As a result, hydrocarbons do not migrate far away from the source rock or even stay within the source rock. Prediction of the productivity of unconventional reservoirs depends on the understanding of the phase behavior of its hydrocarbon content. Unconventional reservoirs have abundant nano-pores, in which the phase behaviors of hydrocarbons are expected to deviate from phase behaviors of bulk fluids; i.e. condensation/ vaporization can happen at conditions different from those measured in conventional PVT cells. Better understanding of phase behaviors in nano-pores should, therefore, yield better analytical and numerical models and better unconventional reservoir engineering practices. Many studies have focused on the theoretical causes of unconventional hydrocarbon phase behavior in nano-pores and modeling. However, direct observations of phase behaviors are scarce and very few experimental data are available. In this study, phase changes of pure propane gas in nano-fluidic devices were directly observed for the first time. Propane gas prefers to condense in nano-pores at pressures lower than the regular vapor pressure and condensation in nano-pores occurs before condensation in larger pores. Calculations show that intermolecular forces in nano-channels lead to lower vapor pressures than those predicted from conventional expectations. These forces do not affect phase behavior in conventional petroleum reservoirs but, their effects can be significant in unconventional reservoirs. Advisors/Committee Members: Ozkan, E.

▼ As the production of new chiral products such as drugs continually increases, the currently available CSPs are not guarantees to provide adequate enantioseparation for new products. With the increased demand from drug regulatory agencies for drug manufacturers to provide safety data by way of enantiomeric purity, there is a need for the development of more chiral selectors for application in gas chromatography (GC) or liquid chromatography (LC) stationary phases for the analysis of chiral drug products. Given that GC is one of the preferred methods of chiral analysis recommended by drug regulatory agencies, it is important to have a range of GC stationary phases which possess diverse physical and chemical properties to allow researchers to conduct not only routine chiral analysis but provide a selection of stationary phases with the appropriate properties required to conduct specialised enantioselective analysis experiments. Ionic liquids have been identified as good candidates for application as stationary phases in GC. Their negligible vapour pressure, good thermal stability, multiple solvation interaction and their tuneable physical and chemical properties make them ideal candidates for application in the design of new stationary phases. In this work the design, synthesis, and testing of novel chiral ionic liquids (ILs), for enantioselective capability in GC stationary phases is presented. First, new chiral cis- and trans-2,4,5-triphenylimidazolinium ILs are synthesised as well as their achiral 2,4,5-triphenylimidazolium IL counter parts. Following which the asymmetrical N-derivatisation of trans-2,4,5-triphenylimidazoline with various amino acids is described, which upon alkylation with an alkylhalide served as precursors for the synthesis of novel chiral ILs. We also describe the synthesis of new asymmetrical chiral imidazolinium ILs with various side groups from simple amino acids, permitting the incorporation of various functional groups at positions 2, 3, 4, and 5 on the imidazoline moiety, allowing for the production of a wide range of imidazolinium ILs with tunable physical and chemical properties. New ionic cyclodextrins (CD) were also synthesised from per-6-iodo-2,3-hydroxy-β-CD, per-6-iodo-2,3-O-acetyl-β-CD, per-6-iodo-2,3-O-acetyl-γ-CD to afford variousper-6-imidazolium-2,3-hydroxy-β-CD iodide, per-6- imidazolium-2,3-O-acetyl-β-CD iodide, and per-6-imidazolium-2,3-O-acetyl-γ-CD iodide as well as their pyridium ionic CD counterparts. A selection of chiral ILs incorporated into capillary columns as chiral selectors diluted in OV-1701, and their phase polarities and their enantioselective capabilities evaluated. The resultant mixed phases remained relatively non-polar while displaying markedly altered retention behaviours for various analytes. A good example of the need for a wider selection of chiral stationary phases that possess a variety of chemical properties for specialized applications was illustrated. In the study we conducted with chiral…

▼ Owing to the growing demand for enantiopurity in biological and chemical processes, tremendous efforts have been devoted to the synthesis of homochiral metal-organic materials (MOMs) because of their potential applications in chiral separation and asymmetric catalysis. In this dissertation, the synthetic strategies for homochiral MOMs are discussed keeping the focus on their applications. Two distinct approaches have been taken to synthesize chiral structures with different topologies and accessible cavities. The chiral MOMs have been utilized in enantioselective separation of racemates. Chiral variants of the prototypal metal-organic framework MOF-5, δ-CMOF-5 and [lambda]-CMOF-5, have been synthesized by preparing MOF-5 in the presence of L-proline or D-proline, respectively. CMOF-5 crystallizes in chiral space group P213 instead of Fm-3m as exhibited by MOF-5. The phase purity of CMOF-5 was validated by single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, TGA, N2 adsorption, microanalysis and solid-state CD. CMOF-5 undergoes a reversible single crystal to single crystal phase change to MOF-5 when immersed in a variety of organic solvents although N-methyl-2-pyrolidone, NMP, does not induce loss of chirality. Indeed, MOF-5 undergoes chiral induction when immersed in NMP, affording racemic CMOF-5. A pair of homochiral network materials (CNMs), [Co2(S-man)2(bpy)3](NO3)2·guests (1S) and [Co2(R-man)2(bpy)3](NO3)2·guests (1R) based upon S-mendelic acid and R-mendelic acid were synthesized and characterized, respectively. The cationic networks contain 1D homochiral channels with the cross section of 8.0 Å × 8.0 Å. The chiral amphiphilic channel surfaces lined with hydrophilic nitrate anions and hydrophobic phenyl groups are capable for multiple interactions with guest species. Chiral resolution of 1-phenyl-1-propanol (PP) enantiomers was performed utilizing the homochiral porosity of 1S and 1R through different time period at different temperatures with/without additives. The mechanism for enantioselective separation of PP was fully investigated through single crystal structural analysis of guest exchanged 1S and 1R. Chiral resolution of PP revealed enhanced performance with additive, which can significantly improve the ee value from 32% to 60%.

▼ This dissertation describes theoretical and computational studies of the origin of biological homochirality, and the existence of a liquid-liquid phase transition in pure-component network-forming fluids. A common theme throughout these studies is the use of sophisticated computer simulation and statistical mechanics techniques to study complex condensed-phase phenomena. In the first part of this dissertation, we use an elementary lattice model with molecular degrees of freedom, and satisfying microscopic reversibility, to investigate the effect of reaction reversibility on the evolution of stochastic symmetry breaking via autocatalysis and mutual inhibition in a closed system. We identify conditions under which the system’s evolution towards racemic equilibrium becomes extremely slow, allowing for long-time persistence of a symmetry-broken state. We also identify a “monomer purification” mechanism, due to which a nearly homochiral state can persist for long times, even in the presence of significant reverse reaction rates. Order of magnitude estimates show that with reasonable physical parameters a symmetry broken state could persist over geologically-relevant time scales. In the second part of this dissertation, we study a chiral-symmetry breaking mechanism known as Viedma ripening. We develop a Monte Carlo model to gain further insights into the mechanisms capable of reproducing key experimental signatures associated with this phenomenon. We also provide a comprehensive investigation of how the model parameters impact the system’s overall behavior. It is shown that size-dependent crystal solubility alone is insufficient to reproduce most experimental signatures, and that some form of a solid-phase chiral feedback mechanism (e.g., agglomeration) must be invoked in our model. In the third part of this dissertation, we perform rigorous free energy calculations to investigate the possibility of a liquid-liquid phase transition (LLPT) in the Stillinger-Weber (SW) model of silicon. A similar analysis is also presented for the generalized SW family of models by varying the “tetrahedrality” of the potential. Contrary to previously published findings, we do not find any evidence of the existence of an LLPT for SW silicon, nor for the generalized family of SW models over the range of parameters studied. Our results for the original parameterization of SW silicon are in semi-quantitative agreement with previous free energy calculations for this model, which were only provided at three state points. Explanations for the discrepancies between previous independent studies are provided, along with explicit demonstrations of how these discrepancies may have occurred. Finally, in the fourth part of this dissertation, we perform free energy calculations to demonstrate the existence of an LLPT in the Jagla potential. We also utilize finite-size scaling analysis to calculate the surface tension associated with the LLPT. In addition to the thermodynamics of the model, we investigate the relaxation… Advisors/Committee Members: Debenedetti, Pablo G (advisor).

▼ Local gamma-band (~30-100Hz) oscillations in the brain, produced by feedback inhibition on a characteristic timescale, appear in multiple areas of the brain and are associated with a wide range of cognitive functions. Some regions producing gamma also receive gamma-rhythmic input, and the interaction and coordination of these rhythms has been hypothesized to serve various functional roles. This thesis consists of three stand-alone chapters, each of which considers the response of a gamma-rhythmic neuronal circuit to input in an analytical framework. In the first, we demonstrate that several related models of a gamma-generating circuit under periodic forcing are asymptotically drawn onto an attracting invariant torus due to the convergence of inhibition trajectories at spikes and the convergence of voltage trajectories during sustained inhibition, and therefore display a restricted range of dynamics. In the second, we show that a model of a gamma-generating circuit under forcing by square pulses cannot maintain multiple stably phase-locked solutions. In the third, we show that a separation of time scales of membrane potential dynamics and synaptic decay causes the gamma model to phase align its spiking such that periodic forcing pulses arrive under minimal inhibition. When two of these models are mutually coupled, the same effect causes excitatory pulses from the faster oscillator to arrive at the slower under minimal inhibition, while pulses from the slower to the faster arrive under maximal inhibition. We also show that such a time scale separation allows the model to respond sensitively to input pulse coherence to an extent that is not possible for a simple one-dimensional oscillator. We draw on a wide range of mathematical tools and structures including return maps, saltation matrices, contraction methods, phase response formalism, and singular perturbation theory in order to show that the neuronal mechanism of gamma oscillations is uniquely suited to reliably phase lock across brain regions and facilitate the selective transmission of information.

▼ The stereoselective synthesis of 1,2-cis-glycosidic bonds using a 2-O-(S)-(phenylthiomethyl)benzyl ether chiral auxiliary is descrided herein. Activation of a glycosyl donor protected with a 2-O-(S)-(phenylthiomethyl)benzyl ether chiral auxiliary results in the formation of an anomeric β-sulfonium ion, which can be displaced with sugar alcohols to afford the corresponding α-glycosides. Sufficient deactivation of such glycosyl donors by electron-withdrawing protecting groups is, however, critical to avoid glycosylation of an oxa-carbenium ion intermediate resulting in the formation of mixtures of anomers. The latter type of glycosylation pathway can also be suppressed by adding geminal substituents to the chiral auxiliary to promote the formation of the β-sulfonium ion. Adhering to these rules, the use of the 2-O-(S)-(phenylthiomethyl)benzyl ether chiral auxiliary was used to perform Solid Phase Oligosaccharide Synthesis (SPOS). Solid-phase oligosaccharide synthesis offers the promise of providing libraries of oligosaccharides for glycomics research. A major stumbling block to solid-phase oligosaccharide synthesis has been a lack of general methods for the stereoselective installation of 1,2-cis-glycosides, and intractable mixtures of compounds are obtained if several such glycosides need to be installed. We have prepared on-resin a biologically important glucoside containing multiple 1,2-cis-glycosidic linkages with complete anomeric control by using glycosyl donors having a participating (S)-(phenylthiomethyl)benzyl chiral auxiliary at C-2. The synthetic strategy made it possible to achieve partial on-resin deprotection of the completed oligosaccharide, thereby increasing the overall efficiency of the synthesis. The combination of classical and auxiliary-mediated neighboring-group participation for controlling anomeric selectivity is bringing the promise of routine automated solid-supported oligosaccharide synthesis closer. The use of the 2-O-(S)-(phenylthiomethyl)benzyl ether chiral auxiliary was also tested in the synthesis of substructures of the unusual core region of the lipopolysaccharide of Francisella tularensis. F.tularensis has been classified by the CDC as a Class A bio-terrorism agent. F. tularensis is highly virulent, requiring as few as 10-50 cells to cause human infection, which in an urban area would result in thousands of deaths. The lipopolysaccharide of F. tularensis is an attractive candidate for vaccine and diagnostic test development to combat such an event. Herein, the synthesis of the inner core hexasaccharide domain of F. tularensis is described.

▼ Modern smart phones often come with a significant amount of computational power and an integrated digital camera making them an ideal platform for intelligents assistants. This work is restricted to retail environments, where users could be provided with for example navigational instructions to desired products or information about special offers within their close proximity. This kind of applications usually require information about the user's current location in the domain environment, which in our case corresponds to a retail store. We propose a vision based positioning approach that recognizes products the user's mobile phone's camera is currently pointing at. The products are related to locations within the store, which enables us to locate the user by pointing the mobile phone's camera to a group of products. The first step of our method is to extract meaningful features from digital images. We use the Scale- Invariant Feature Transform SIFT algorithm, which extracts features that are highly distinctive in the sense that they can be correctly matched against a large database of features from many images. We collect a comprehensive set of images from all meaningful locations within our domain and extract the SIFT features from each of these images. As the SIFT features are of high dimensionality and thus comparing individual features is infeasible, we apply the Bags of Keypoints method which creates a generic representation, visual category, from all features extracted from images taken from a specific location. A category for an unseen image can be deduced by extracting the corresponding SIFT features and by choosing the category that best fits the extracted features. We have applied the proposed method within a Finnish supermarket. We consider grocery shelves as categories which is a sufficient level of accuracy to help users navigate or to provide useful information about nearby products. We achieve a 40% accuracy which is quite low for commercial applications while significantly outperforming the random guess baseline. Our results suggest that the accuracy of the classification could be increased with a deeper analysis on the domain and by combining existing positioning methods with ours.

L’objectif premier de cette thèse était de développer une méthode expérimentale qui permet d’identifier les conglomérats des composés racémiques ou des solutions solides pour leur séparation par voie de cristallisation. Ainsi évaluer des tendances de formation des conglomérats. La première partie est spécifiquement consacré à la conception et à l’installation de la génération de seconde harmonique (in situ SHG). Le nouveau dispositif de la SHG permettra de repérer des conglomérats en solution en variant les températures de cristallisation et de suivre les transformations entre phases auxquelles au moins une phase se cristallise dans un groupe d’espace non-centrosymétrique. La fiabilité de cette méthode expérimentale de SHG est testée en utilisant les composés inorganiques (Quartz et KDP) qui sont efficients pour l’effet de la SHG. La transversalité de la méthode pour les composés organiques chiraux a été démontrée par l’étude de la transition de phase entre le conglomérat et le composé racémique du monochlorhydrate hydraté d’histidine d’une part et du propionate de l’imeglimine d’autre part. La deuxième partie traite la caractérisation du composé chiral chlocyphos, de la recherche et de l’identification de conglomérats dérivés du chlocyphos et leur séparation chirale par voie de la cristallisation préférentielle. Les structures cristallines des sels du chlocyphos ont été résolues par la diffraction des rayons X sur monocristal (SC-XRD) et la tendance qui s’est dégagée est la formation de conglomérats avec les alkyle-amines à partir de l’éthyle jusqu’au cyclohexyle avec une similarité des structures cristallines. L’élaboration du diagramme de phase binaire du conglomérat avec une solution solide partielle du chlocyphos de l’éthylamine a été abordée.

The objective of this research project is to develop a method that enables the identification of conglomerates rather than racemic compounds or solid solutions for their chiral resolution by crystallization. Then, evaluate the trends of conglomerate formation. The first part of the manuscript is specifically dedicated to the design and implementation of the in situ SHG set-up. The new SHG device allows to screen conglomerates in suspensions at various temperatures and in various solvents and to follow phase transition. The reliability of the experimental in situ SHG set-up was tested by using inorganic material (Quartz and KDP) which are efficient for SHG effects. The applicability of the method to chiral organic compounds was demonstrated by the study of the solid-solid transition between the conglomerate and the racemic compound phases of histidine monohydrochloride hydrate and imeglimin propionate. The second part concerns the characterization of the chiral compound chlocyphos, the search and identification of its conglomerate derivatives and their chiral separation by using preferential crystallization. Crystal structures of the chlocyphos salts are determined by SC-XRD and the strong tendency of alkyl-amine salts to crystallize as conglomerates with similar crystal…

▼ The Fourier transform (spectrum) of a signal is a complex function and is characterized by the magnitude and phase spectra. Phase retrieval is the reconstruction of the phase spectrum from the measurements of the magnitude spectrum. Such problems are encountered in imaging modalities such as X-ray crystallography, frequency-domain optical coherence tomography (FDOCT), quantitative phase microscopy, digital holography, etc., where only the magnitudes of the wavefront are detected by the sensors. The phase retrieval problem is ill-posed in general, since an in nite number of signals can have the same magnitude spectrum. Typical phase retrieval techniques rely on certain prior knowledge about the signal, such as its support or sparsity, to reconstruct the signal. A classical result in phase retrieval is that minimum-phase signals have log-magnitude and phase spectra that satisfy the Hilbert integral equations, thus facilitating exact phase retrieval. In this thesis, we demonstrate that there exist larger classes of signals beyond minimum-phase signals, for which exact phase retrieval is possible. We generalize Hilbert integral equations to 2-D, and also introduce a variant that we call the composite Hilbert transform in the context of 2-D periodic signals. Our first extension pertains to a particular type of parametric modelling of 2-D signals. While 1-D minimum-phase signals have a parametric representation, in terms of poles and zeros, there exists no such 2-D counterpart. We introduce a new class of parametric 2-D signals that possess the exact phase retrieval property, that is, their magnitude spectrum completely characterizes the signal. Starting from the magnitude spectrum, a sequence of non-linear operations lead us to a sum-of-exponentials signal, from which the parameters are computed employing concepts from high-resolution spectral estimation such as the annihilating filter and algebraically coupled matrix-pencil methods. We demonstrate that, for this new class of signals, our method outperforms existing techniques even in the presence of noise. Our second extension is to continuous-domain signals that lie in a principal shift-invariant space spanned by a known basis. Such signals are characterized by the basis combining coefficients. These signals need not be minimum-phase, but certain conditions on the coefficients lead to exact phase retrieval of the continuous-domain signal. In particular, we introduce the concept of causal, delta dominant (CDD) sequences, and show that such signals are characterized by their magnitude spectra. This condition pertains to the time/spatial-domain description of the signal, in contrast to the minimum-phase condition, which is described in the spectral domain. We show that there exist CDD sequences that are not minimum-phase, and vice versa. However, finite-length CDD sequences are always minimum-phase. Our method reconstructs the signal from the magnitude spectrum up to ma-chine precision. We thus have a class of continuous-domain signals that are neither causal nor minimum… Advisors/Committee Members: Seelamantula, Chandra Sekhar (advisor).

▼ The concept of coherence in optics means how closely an optical field oscillates in unison at the same position in different time (temporal coherence) or at different positions at the same time (spatial coherence). Since all optical fields oscillate very rapidly with random fluctuations, coherence theory has been developed to describe the state of coherence of those optical fields through the usage of time-averaged correlation functions. This thesis reviews and applies coherence theory for an accurate and improved modeling in field-propagation and coherence measurement for partially coherent fields. The first half of this thesis discusses the study of phase-space distributions and phase-space tomography. Phase-space distributions such as the Wigner and the ambiguity functions can be used as simple mathematical tools for describing the propagation of an optical field for any state of coherence as those functions incorporate wave effects with the simplicity of ray optics. However, the Wigner and the ambiguity functions require a paraxial condition for the field description. To overcome this limitation, the nonparaxial extensions of the Wigner function have been studied and applied for nonparaxial fields. In this thesis, a simple series expression for calculating a nonparaxial generalization of the Wigner function from the standard Wigner function is developed in both two- and three-dimensional free space. A nonparaxial generalization of the ambiguity function that retains properties analogous to the standard ambiguity function is also proposed in both two and three dimensions. This generalization extends phase-space tomography to the nonparaxial regime. The second half of this thesis proposes a new method of coherence measurement based on diffraction. By measuring the radiant intensity of a field with and without a binary transparent phase mask, one can estimate the coherence of a field at all pairs of the points centered at the mask’s edge. This method is proposed in both two and three dimensions, and simple measures of the levels of error of this scheme are also derived. The numerical and experimental results validate the proposed method. This proposed scheme can also be extended to phase masks that are not transparent.
