Nonparaxial propagation properties of a vector partially coherent dark hollow beam

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Based on the generalized Raleigh–Sommerfeld diffraction integrals, analytical nonparaxial propagation formulas for the elements of the cross-spectral density matrix of a vector partially coherent dark hollow beam (DHB) in free space are derived. The effect of spatial coherence and beam waist sizes on the statistical properties of a nonparaxial vector DHB is studied numerically. It is found that one can modulate the statistical properties of a nonparaxial vector DHB by varying its initial spatial coherence, which will be useful in some applications where nonparaxial beams are commonly encountered.
