Correlation optics [1] is among the most attractive
and promising areas of modern optics and photonics.
Being generically connected with the concept of
partial coherence and partial polarization [2], corre-
lation optics touches upon such fundamental do-
mains as singular optics and fractal optics, as
well as applications, including optical diagnostics
in material science and industrial control, optical
metrology, and biomedical applications of lasers. Re-
cent progress in correlation optics has appeared in
several important events and is reflected in papers
included in this feature issue. First, the concepts
and experimental techniques of partial coherence
and partial polarization are actively involved within
singular optics [3], being important for the problem
of spin-to-orbital conversion as well as for deriving
reliable algorithms for construction of singular skel-
etons of complex optical fields. Second, investiga-
tions of so-called internal optical flows have led to
the use of ensembles of (gold) nanoparticles as
unique highly sensitive probes for highlighting the
intimate structure of light fields and their behavior
depending on the degree of coherence and states of
polarization of their components. Spatial modula-
tion of the time-averaged Poynting vector taking
place in such fields can subsequently be used for con-
struction of polarization manipulators and traps for
controlling not only microparticles but nanoparticles
as well, which is of vital importance for further
progress of nanophotonics and nanophysics. These
investigations are also of fundamental importance.
Namely, elaboration of spin energy flows in circularly
polarized inhomogeneous light fields leads to a
deeper understanding of the nature of spin of a
photon as the angular momentum is generated by
circulated energy flow in the wave field of a photon.
Comparison of computations of the angular momen-
tums following Dirac and within the framework of
classical electrodynamics shows that the spin of a
photon corresponds to the angular momentum in-
trinsic to a classical circularly polarized wave.
In the past 20 years, since 1993, 11 biannual
international conferences devoted to this large area
of research and development have been held under
1 April 2014 / Vol. 53, No. 10 / APPLIED OPTICS CO259
the aegis of world-leading optical communities
(SPIE, OSA, ICO, EPS, EOS). This feature issue of
Applied Optics contains a series of selected papers
reflecting recent progress in correlation optics and
showing, in part, the trend from micro-optics to
nano-optics. Conventionally, the papers might be
distributed in the following topics:
• Informative content of statistical optical fields,
including optical chaos, singular optics, polarization
optics, and coherence.
• Optical correlation devices based on diffraction
optical elements, including optical and digital holog-
raphy, fractal optics, and optical sensors.
• Optical correlation diagnostics, interferometry,
and microscopy of rough surfaces and random
media.
• New applications of correlation optics in biology
and medicine.
