A reciprocity inequality for Gaussian Schell-model beams and some of its consequences.

Wander and Spreading of Gaussian-Schell Model Beams Propagating through Anisotropic Marine-Atmospheric Turbulence

The effects of anisotropic turbulence on the wander and spreading of Gaussian-Schell model beams propagating in non-Kolmogorov marine-atmospheric channel are investigated. Expressions for beam wander and long-term beam spreading are derived in all conditions of marine-atmospheric turbulence. Our results indicate that the beam wander and spreading of Gaussian-Schell model beams are lower in the ...

Iwasawa decomposition in first-order optics: universal treatment of shape-invariant propagation for coherent and partially coherent beams

We present the Iwasawa decomposition theorem for the group Sp (2, R) in a form particularly suited to firstorder optics, and we exploit it to develop a uniform description of the shape-invariant propagation of several families of optical beams. Both coherent and partially coherent beams are considered. We analyze the Hermite–Gaussian beam as an example of the fully coherent case. For the partia...

Average Polarization of Electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-Model Beams through Anisotropic Non-Kolmogorov Turbulence

Polarization properties of electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model beams propagating through the anisotropic non-Kolmogorov turbulence of marine-atmosphere channel are studied based on the cross-spectral density matrix. Detailed analysis shows that the average polarization decreases with increasing the spectral index, inner scale of turbulence and generalized refractive-index structure parameter....

Ghost imaging with twisted Gaussian Schell-model beam.

Based on the classical optical coherence theory, ghost imaging with twisted Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beams is analyzed. It is found that the twist phase of the GSM beam has strong influence on ghost imaging. As the absolute value of the twist factor increases, the ghost image disappears gradually, but its visibility increases. This phenomenon is caused by the fact that the twist phase enhanc...
