✦ Synopsis

It is demonstrated for a time-invariant linear optical system that there exists a definite connection between the optical vortices (phase singularities of the field amplitude) which appear when it is illuminated by spatially coherent light and the coherence vortices (phase singularities of the field correlation function) which appear when it is illuminated by partially coherent light. Optical vortices are shown to evolve into coherence vortices when the state of coherence of the field is decreased. Examples of the connection are given. Furthermore, the generic behavior of coherence vortices in linear optical systems is described.

We show that spatial many-particle coherence of condensed 2D exciton system, which is represented by anomalous averages ; can be transferred to exciton luminescence via the processes of coherent (simultaneous) recombination of many correlated excitons with production of the same number of correlate
