Degree of Polarization in Focused Light

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The degree of polarization in high-NA focused random optical fields is analyzed using the Richards-Wolf method and 3D spectral coherence theory. Significant changes in the polarization degree are predicted. These results are explained by considering the focal-field spectral densities and electric-field correlations.
