Abstract

The degree of paraxiality (DOP) of an electromagnetic fractional multi-Gaussian Schell-model (EM-FMGSM) beam is discussed, and the effect of the properties of the light source on its DOP is also studied. It is shown from the numerical results that the DOP of an EM-FMGSM beam is determined by the rms widths of the auto-correlation functions, the truncated parameter, the degree of polarization, and the boundary characteristics of its source. Moreover, the far-field divergence angle of the beam source is also investigated to illustrate the behaviors of the DOP.
