Partially coherent beams with a prescribed phase, state of polarization, and degree of
coherence display many extraordinary propagation properties and are preferred in many …

We have experimentally generated a radially polarized (RP) beam with controllable state of
spatial coherence by using a rotating ground-glass plate and a radial polarization converter …

Cylindrical vector partially coherent beam is introduced as a natural extension of cylindrical
vector coherent beam based on the unified theory of coherence and polarization. Analytical …

We outline the propagation of an electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model (EGSM) vortex
beam through a paraxial ABCD optical system and analyze the vortex phase-induced …

Analytical expressions for the propagation factor of partially coherent radial flat-topped (FT)
beam array in free-space and turbulent atmosphere are derived. Our formulae can be …

Analytical nonparaxial propagation formula for the cross-spectral density matrix of a
cylindrical vector partially coherent beam in free space is derived based on the generalized …

Partially coherent vector beams have displayed many unique properties, which are much
different from coherent vector beams and are useful in many applications, such as free …

We derive the analytical expressions for the second-order moments of an electromagnetic
Gaussian Schell-model (EGSM) beam propagating in a uniaxial crystal. With the help of the …

With the help of a tensor method, we investigate the evolution properties of the state of
polarization of an electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model beam propagating through a …

Based on the generalized Raleigh–Sommerfeld diffraction integrals, analytical nonparaxial
propagation formulas for the elements of the cross-spectral density matrix of a vector …
