Coherent pseudo-mode decomposition of a new partially coherent source class

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We introduce a new class of Schell-model temporal sources that admit a closed-form analytical decomposition in terms of coherent pseudo-modes. We explore the source mode and the corresponding eigenvalue structure and demonstrate that the lowest-order mode profile reflects the distribution of the source intensity as a function of time. We also examine the global degree of coherence of the class and show that it is virtually independent of the pulse intensity profile particulars at the source.
