Wavefront shaping technique has been applied to actively control the intensity profile of optical speckles, and a recent progress is to realize glare suppression with the low-transmittance eigenchannels of the transmission matrices (TMs). This makes it possible to custom-tailor the speckle fields. For the purpose of suppressing glare at will, research about the properties of low-transmittance eigenchannels in glare suppression is demanded. In this paper, we report the area expansion effect of glare suppression with low-transmittance eigenchannels. With numerical simulations, we found the actual darkened area was larger than the set target area due to the transverse correlation of the speckle field. Their difference is related to the measuring noise of the TM and gets smaller with the increase of the noise intensity. We believe our research could help to design structured speckle fields, and it will be of significant for advanced applications of optical speckles.
Structured light with diverse degrees of freedom (DoFs) has recently attracted wide attention. Especially, the ray-wave beams that could be described by both rays and wave packet, can open multiple DoFs by the ray- wave duality. Here a generalized ray-wave beam family is proposed to unify the spatial mode evolution of the azimuthally traveling-wave (TW) and standing-wave (SW) structured light, by introducing a reconfigureable ray-split/fusion structure. We derive an elegant closed-form expression by utilizing frequency-degenerate Ince- Gaussian eigenmodes to construct a new ray-wave beams family to precisely parameterize the ray-split/fusion process, pushing structured light control in higher dimensions. We also experimentally generate these modes by dynamic control of a digital hologram system, revealing their potential applications in optical manipulation and communication.
