Influence of turbulence on the beam propagation factor of Gaussian Schell-model array beams

The analytical expression for the beam propagation factor (M²-factor) of Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) array beams propagating through atmospheric turbulence is derived. It is shown that the M²-factor of GSM array beams depends on the beam number, the relative beam separation distance, the beam coherence parameter, the type of beam superposition, and the strength of turbulence. The turbulence results in an increase of the M²-factor. However, for the superposition of the intensity the M²-factor is less sensitive to turbulence than that for the superposition of the cross-spectral density function. The M²-factor of GSM array beams is larger than that of the corresponding Gaussian array beams. However, the M²-factor of GSM array beams is less affected by turbulence than that of the corresponding Gaussian array beams. For the superposition of the cross-spectral density function a minimum of the M²-factor of GSM array beams may appear in turbulence, which is even smaller than that of the corresponding single GSM beams.     

The M factor of partially coherent ultrashort pulsed beams

Starting from the space-time Wigner distribution function and taking the Gaussian Schell-model pulsed beam as a typical example, the M² factor of partially coherent ultrashort pulsed beams is studied. It is shown that the M² factor increases with increasing bandwidth and decreases with increasing spatial correlation. Furthermore, for chirped pulse, the M² factor increases as the chirp parameter increases.

M factor and kurtosis parameter of super-Gaussian beams passing through an axicon

The effects of axicons on the M² factor and kurtosis parameter of super Gaussian beams(SGBs) are studied in detail. The closed-form expression for the M² factor of SGBs after passing through an axicon is derived, and the reason why the convergent and divergent axicons give rise to the same increase of the M² factor is explained physically from the similarity of the resulting irradiance distributions. The analytical propagation equation of the K parameter of SGBs passing through an axicon followed by a paraxial optical ABCD system is given, some interesting special cases are discussed. In particular, it is found that even for the Gaussian special case theK parameter is no longer a constant due to the effect of the axicon. Numerical examples are also given to illustrate our analytical results.     

The problems with M

M² is now widely used to characterize the quality of laser radiation. In the paraxial approach the inequality M²1 holds, if M² is defined by the second moments. Nevertheless, in some publications M²<1 is presented, either theoretically or experimentally (Wang et al., Optik 1995;100(1):8; Lu et al., Optik 1995;100(2):91; Wang et al., Optics and Laser Technology 1999;31:151). In particular, it is stated that for a superposition of axially shifted Gaussian spherical beams, M² can become smaller than one (Wang et al., Optics and Laser Technology 1999;31:151). These problems with M² are briefly summarized.

The Beam Propagation Factor of Nonparaxial Truncated Flattened Gaussian Beams

By using the second-order moment of the power density, the beam width, far-field divergence angle and M² factor of nonparaxial truncated flattened Gaussian (FG) beams are derived analytically. It is shown that the M² factor of nonparaxial truncated FG beams depends not only on the truncation parameter δ and beam order N, but also on the initial waist-width to wavelength ratio w₀/λ. The far-field divergence angle approaches an asymptotic value of θ_max=63.435° when the truncation parameter δ → 0. For the special cases of N = 0 and δ → ∞ our results reduce to those of nonparaxial truncated Gaussian beams and nonparaxial untruncated FG beams, respectively.

The factor of nonparaxial Hermite–Gaussian beams and related problems

On the basis of the second-order moment of the power density and in the use of the series expansion, the expressions for the beam width, far-field divergence angle and M² factor of nonparaxial Hermite–Gaussian (H–G) beams are derived and expressed in a sum of the series of the Gamma function. The theoretical results are illustrated with numerical examples. The M² factor of nonparaxial H–G beams depends not only on the beam order m, but also on the waist-width to wavelength ratio w₀/λ. The far-field divergence angles of nonparaxial H–G beams with even and odd orders approach their upper limits θ_max=63.435 and 73.898, respectively, which results in M²<1 as w₀/λ→0. For the special case of m=0 our results reduce to those of nonparaxial Gaussian beams. Some problems related to the characterization of the nonparaxial beam quality are also discussed.     

Beam quality of radial Gaussian Schell-model array beams

Taking the Rayleigh range z_R and the M²-factor as the characteristic parameters of beam quality, the beam quality of radial Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) array beams is studied. The analytical expressions for the z_R and the M²-factor of radial GSM array beams are derived. It is shown that for the superposition of the cross-spectral density function z_R is longer and the M²-factor is lower than that for the superposition of the intensity. For the two types of superposition, z_R increases and the M²-factor decreases with increase in beam coherence parameter, and both z_R and the M²-factor increase with increase in inverse radial fill-factor. For the superposition of the cross-spectral density function, z_R increases and the M²-factor decreases with increase in beam number, while for the superposition of the intensity both the z_R and M²-factor are independent of the beam number.

Propagation properties of partially coherent modified Bessel–Gauss beams

Starting from the propagation law of partially coherent light, the analytical propagation equations of partially coherent modified Bessel–Gauss beams (MBGBs) through a paraxial optical ABCD system are derived and illustrated with typical application examples. Furthermore, by using the intensity moments method and integral transformation technique, the important characteristic parameters, including the beam width, far-field divergence angle, M² factor and kurtosis parameter of partially coherent MBGBs, are expressed in a closed and simple form. As a result, some basic properties of MBGBs and the dependence of the M² factor and kurtosis parameter on the spectral degree of coherence and beam order are illustrated both analytically and numerically.     

Asymptotic approach to the truncated cosh-Gaussian beams

The propagation behavior and M ²-factor of truncated cosh-Gaussian (ChG) beams are studied by using the asymptotic approach. Detailed numerical results are given to illustrate the dependence of M ²-factor on the beam decentered parameter , truncation fraction p and power fraction f. Our results are self-consistent and reduce to those of Pare and Belanger [Opt. Commun. 123, p. 679 (1996a); Proc. SPIE 2870, p. 104 (1996b)]. The advantage of the approach is shown, and the problems introduced by the hard-aperture diffraction and the approach used are discussed.     

Spatial correlation properties and the spectral intensity distributions of focused Gaussian Schell-model array beams

The spatial correlation properties and the spectral intensity distributions of focused Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) array beams are studied in detail. The closed-form expressions for the spectral degree of coherence and the spectral intensity of focused GSM array beams are derived. It is shown that the spectral degree of coherence of focused GSM array beams is the same as that of focused GSM beams in the focal plane. On the other hand, it is found that, in the focal plane the spectral intensity distribution of focused GSM array beams is the fringe pattern when the value of the coherence length is small. However, it becomes one peak located at the center as the value of the coherence length is large enough. In the focal plane, the spectral intensity maximum increases and the width of the normalized spectral intensity distribution decreases as the beam number increases. In general, for GSM array beams, the width of the modulus of the spectral degree of coherence in the focal plane always exceeds that of the normalized spectral intensity distribution, which is different from the behavior of focused GSM beams. In addition, the power in the bucket (PIB) and the beam propagation factor (M² factor) are also discussed. The main results are explained physically.
