Fractional Fourier transform for partially coherent Gaussian–Schell model beams

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The fractional Fourier transform (FRT) is applied to partially coherent twisted anisotropic Gaussian–Schell model (GSM) beams based directly on the cross-spectral density. An analytical and concise formula is derived for the cross-spectral density of partially coherent twisted anisotropic GSM beams passing through a FRT system in terms of the tensor method. The corresponding tensor ABCD law for performing a FRT is obtained. The connection between the FRT formula and the generalized Collins formula for partially coherent beams is discussed. The formulas derived provide a powerful tool for analyzing and calculating the FRTs of partially coherent beams.
