高斯-谢尔模光束在大气湍流中传输的相干特性研究

文章分析了高斯-谢尔光束在大气湍流中传输时相干长度的变化, 并与真空传输做比较, 真空传输相干长度的变化只与光源参数有关, 大气湍流中传输相干长度的变化受光源参数和湍流的共同影响. 真空传输光束扩展造成相干长度增大; 大气湍流中, 传输距离较短时, 相干长度由于光源扩展而增加, 当传输距离较大时, 湍流效应增强引起相干长度下降. 因此, 单纯从相干长度方面分析大气湍流带来的影响不够完备. 为排除光源扩展影响, 利用相干长度与光斑尺度的比值进行分析, 发现大气湍流会造成比值的下降. 在数值仿真的基础上对上述结果给出了解释. 关键词： 部分相干 大气湍流 高斯-谢尔模 光束扩展

Propagation properties of stochastic electromagnetic double-vortex beams in a turbulent atmosphere

Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle,we study the propagation properties of stochastic electromagnetic double-vortex beams in a turbulent atmosphere.The result shows that the spreading of partially coherent double-vortex beams can be smaller than that of fully coherent ones.The degree of polarization of this kind of beam will experience change,which is dependent on the degree of polarization of the source plane,the atmospheric turbulence,topological charge,and the spatial coherence.The results may have applications in space optical communication.

Statistical properties of correlated radial stochastic electromagnetic array beams on propagation

A kind of array beam named the correlated radial stochastic electromagnetic array beam that is generated by an electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model source is introduced by use of tensor method. The analytical expression for the cross-spectral density matrix of this array beam propagating through the turbulent atmosphere and in free space is obtained after performing vector integration. Some typical numerical calculations are illustrated for the changes in the spectral density, spectral degree of polarization, and spectral degree of coherence of the beam on propagation. We find that the atmospheric turbulence can destroy the correlated effect among the beamlets.     

Change in degree of coherence of partially coherent electromagnetic beams propagating through atmospheric turbulence

We study the change in the degree of coherence of partially coherent electromagnetic beam (so called electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model beam). It is shown analytically that with a fixed set of source parameters and under a particular atmospheric turbulence model, an electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model beam propagating through atmospheric turbulence reaches its maximum value of coherence after the beam propagates a particular distance, and the effective width of the spectral degree of coherence also has its maximum value. This phenomenon is independent of the used turbulence model. The results are illustrated by numerical curves.     

Spectral properties of stochastic electromagnetic twist anisotropic Gaussian-Schell model beam truncated by a slit aperture propagating in turbulent atmosphere

With the help of the tensor method, the cross-spectral density matrix for the stochastic electromagnetic twist anisotropic Gaussian-Schell model (ETAGSM) beam truncated by a slit aperture propagating in turbulent atmosphere are derived. The spectral properties of this kind of beam are investigated in detail. It is shown by numerical results and analysis that the affection of the slit aperture on the spectral properties of the stochastic ETAGSM beam is obvious in the near field; while in the far field, the atmospheric turbulence plays an important role; the source beam's coherence can weaken the affection of the slit aperture and the atmospheric turbulence on the spectral properties of the stochastic ETAGSM beam truncated by a slit aperture propagating in turbulent atmosphere, while the twist properties of the source beam can strong the affection of the slit aperture on the spectral properties in the near field. Also, the spectral degree of polarization and normalized spectral density distributions and corresponding contour graphs of the stochastic ETAGSM beam truncated by a slit aperture propagating in turbulent atmosphere and free space at different propagation distances are investigated in detail.     

Changes in the statistical properties of stochastic anisotropic electromagnetic beams propagating through the oceanic turbulence

On the basis of the extended Huygens?CFresnel principle, an analytical propagation expression for the elements of the cross-spectral density matrix of a stochastic anisotropic electromagnetic beam through oceanic turbulence is derived. From this formula the spectral density, spectral degree of coherence, spectral degree of polarization, orientation angle and the degree of ellipticity of such a beam on propagation are determined. Some numerical calculations are illustrated relating to the anisotropic electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model beams propagating through oceanic turbulence. The results indicate that the spectral degree of coherence of stochastic anisotropic electromagnetic beams tends to zero with increasing propagation distance through oceanic turbulence, which is in agreement with results previously reported for turbulent atmosphere. It is also found that the changes in the statistical properties of the anisotropic source on propagation are qualitatively different from those of the isotropic source.     

Polarization changes in partially coherent electromagnetic beams propagating through turbulent atmosphere

In this paper, we study the effects of turbulent atmosphere on the degree of polarization of a partially coherent electromagnetic beam, which propagates through it. The beam is described by a 2⊗2 cross-spectral density matrix and is assumed to be generated by a planar, secondary, electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model source. The analysis is based on a recently formulated unified theory of coherence and polarization and on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle. We study the behaviour of the degree of polarization in the intermediate zone, i.e. in the region of space where coherence properties of the beam and the atmospheric turbulence are competing. We illustrate the analysis by numerical examples.     

Changes of polarization of light beams on propagation through tissue

The values of the degree of polarization and the coherence of the light beam are of great importance in many areas. In this paper, we study the effects of tissue turbulence on the degree of polarization of a partially coherent electromagnetic beam. Based on the unified theory of coherence and polarization for random electromagnetic beams and the spectral density of the index of refraction fluctuations of tissue, we have established the detailed formula for calculating the change of the degree of polarization of the beam when propagating through tissue. Compared with the light propagation through atmosphere, the result shows that although the propagation distance in tissue imaging is very short, the degree of polarization of the beam may change greatly. An example was given which clearly shows the effect of the correction properties and the tissue turbulence on the degree of polarization of the light beam propagating within the tissue.
