Inspired by the concept of coherent frozen waves, this paper introduces one possible theoretical framework of its partially coherent version, a frozen spatial coherence, in which a desired two-point correlation structure of an optical field is created on the propagation axis by superposing partially coherent zero-order Bessel beams. It is shown that the cross-spectral density can be given a description in terms of a two-dimensional Fourier series, analogous to the one-dimensional approach of…

The results show that it is possible to obtain greater stability for optical trapping using frozen waves, and the significant enhancement in trapping geometry from this approach shows promising applications for optical tweezers micromanipulations over a broad range.

The method employs a single spatial light modulator (SLM) and is based on superposing mutually uncorrelated but spatially coherent in the time domain Bessel modes with modal weights proportional to the SLM display times of the corresponding modes.

Light beams with azimuthal phase dependence [$exp(i \ell\phi)$] carry orbital angular momentum (OAM) which differs fundamentally from spin angular momentum (SAM) associated with polarization.
