Partially coherent Ince–Gaussian beams
Optics Letters, 2020We report on the study and generation of Ince–Gaussian beams in the spatially partially coherent regime. The inherent random fluctuations both in time and space of these partially coherent fields make their characterization difficult. Our results show that the cross-correlation function (CCF) provides insight into the composition of the Ince–Gaussian ...

Partially coherent nonparaxial beams
Optics Letters, 2004The concept of a partially coherent nonparaxial beam is proposed. A closed-form expression for the propagation of nonparaxial Gaussian Schell model (GSM) beams in free space is derived and applied to study the propagation properties of nonparaxial GSM beams.

Partially coherent conical beams
Optics Letters, 2000We introduce a new class of partially coherent beams that can propagate over large distances without changing their transverse profiles and their coherence properties. Such beams are generated by an incoherent superposition of identical fully coherent beams of arbitrary form, whose axes lie on a cone.

Coherent and partially coherent twisting beams
Optical Review, 1994We present coherent and partially coherent beams that exhibit transverse pattern expansion and rotation upon free propagation. Coherent twisting beams may be generated by a suitable superposition of Laguerre-Gauss modes, while a model for partially coherent twisting beams is given by a continuous incoherent superposition of lowest order modes.

Coherence vortices in partially coherent beams
Optics Communications, 2003It is demonstrated that the spectral degree of coherence of a partially coherent beam may possess isolated pairs of points at which its phase is singular, and that in the neighborhood of these points the phase may possess a vortex structure. Partially coherent beams consisting of Hermite-Gaussian modes are considered as an example.

Partially coherent vectorial nonparaxial beams
Journal of the Optical Society of America A, 2004Generalized vectorial Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction integrals are developed for the cross-spectral-density matrices of spatially partially coherent beams. Using the Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beam as an example, we derive the expressions for the propagation of cross-spectral-density matrices and intensity of partially coherent vectorial nonparaxial ...

Self-focusing of a partially coherent beam with circular coherence
Journal of the Optical Society of America A, 2017In a recent publication [Opt. Lett.42, 1512 (2017)OPLEDP0146-959210.1364/OL.42.001512], a novel class of partially coherent sources with circular coherence was introduced. In this paper, we examine the propagation behavior of the spectral density and the spectral degree of spatial coherence of a beam generated by such a source in free space and in ...

Partially coherent beam propagation
SPIE Proceedings, 2003We investigate the propagation of a partially coherent beam produce by a plane source. By utilizing Helmholtz equation, the intensity of the source in plane z = 0, and plane z are obtained. Then by considering new theoretical prediction on cross-spectral density function of the field in the plane z = 0, the root-means square (rms) beam radius, as a ...

Partially coherent bottle beams
Optics Communications, 2005We theoretically investigate the three-dimensional intensity distribution of the partially coherent beams focused by a lens. It is shown that the intensity distribution in the neighborhood of the geometrical focus is not only dependent on the intensity distribution of the incident partially coherent beam, but also on its coherence.

Beam shaping of focused partially coherent beams by use of the spatial coherence effect
Applied Optics, 2004We demonstrate that when a partially coherent beam with a Gaussian intensity distribution is focused by a lens, the desired partially coherent flat-topped intensity distribution or doughnut-shaped intensity distribution at the geometrical focus can be generated by choice of appropriate form of spectral degree of coherence.
