Tensor Method for Treating the Propagation of Scalar and Electromag- netic Gaussian Schell-Model Beams: A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we give a review of the tensor method for treating the propagation of scalar and electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beams. Partially coherent complex curvature tensor is introduced to describe a scalar astigmatic partially coherent GSM beam with twisted phase (i.e., twisted anisotropic GSM beam). A tensor ABCD law for treating the propagation of scalar twisted anisotropic GSM beam through a paraxial astigmatic optical system is derived. The tensor method is then applied to treat the propagation of a scalar twisted anisotripic GSM beam through an apertured optical system, fractional Fourier transform optical system, dispersive and absorbing media, turbulent media. Furthermore, we applied the tensor method to treat the propagation of an electromagnetic GSM beam. Propagation formulae for an electromagnetic GSM beam passing through a paraxial astigmatic optical system in free space and in turbulent atmosphere are derived. The propagation properties of an electromagnetic GSM beam in a Gaussian cavity and in turbulent atmosphere are also reviewed.

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...
متن کاملMultiple optical cages generated by focusing a Laguerre-cosine-Gaussian correlated Schell-model beam
We introduce a new kind of random stationary, scalar beam named Laguerre-cosine-Gaussian correlated Schell-model (LcGCSM) beam whose spectral degree of coherence (SDOC) is a Gaussian function modulated by both non-conventional Laguerreand cosine-type factors. The analytical expressions for the cross-spectral density of a LcGCSM beam propagating through a paraxial ABCD optical system are derived...

In this paper, propagation of flattend Gaussian beam in optical media is simulated by split step fourier method, ABCD matrix method, and paraxial group method, and results are compared. For this purpose, at first, flattend Gaussian beam, strongly nonlocal nonlinear media and investigation methods of propagation of optical beams are introduced.

متن کاملPropagation factors of cosine-Gaussian-correlated Schell-model beams in non-Kolmogorov turbulence.
Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle and second-order moments of the Wigner distribution function (WDF), we have studied the relative root-mean-square (rms) angular width and the propagation factor of cosine-Gaussian-correlated Schell-model (CGSM) beams propagating in non-Kolmogorov turbulence. It has been found that the CGSM beam has advantage over the Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) be...
متن کاملEvolution of coherence singularities of Schell-model beams.
We show that the propagation of the widely used Schell-model partially coherent light can be easily understood using the ambiguity function. This approach is especially beneficial for the analysis of the mutual intensity of Schell-model beams (SMBs), which are associated with stable coherent beams such as Laguerre-, Hermite-, and Ince-Gaussian. We study the evolution of the coherence singularit...
