On-axis spectral shifts and spectral switches of Gaussian Schell-model beams focused by an astigmatic aperture lens

Starting from the propagation law of partially coherent light, the on-axis spectral shifts and spectral switches of Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beams focused by an astigmatic aperture lens are studied. It is shown that, as compared with an aberration-free case whose spectral shifts and spectral switches are induced by spatial correlation and aperture diffraction, the spectral shifts and spectral switches of GSM beams also depend upon the astigmatism of the lens for an astigmatism case. Detailed numerical calculations are made to illustrate the behavior of spectral shifts and spectral switches of GSM beams focused by an astigmatic aperture lens.

Spectral shifts and spectral switches of partially coherent vector beams propagating through an astigmatic aperture lens

By using the polarization matrix and propagation equation of the cross-spectral density function matrix, the spectral shifts and spectral switches of partially coherent vector beams propagating through an astigmatic aperture lens are studied, where the effect of lens astigmatism and beam cross-correlation on the spectral switches is stressed. It is shown that the critical position, spectral transition height and spectral minimum at spectral switches depend on the astigmatism. The beam cross-correlation plays a role in spectral switches under the condition that a polarizer is inserted. The spectral switch vanishes when the astigmatic coefficient is larger than a certain value, or the cross-correlation length is less than a certain value.

Spectral shifts of Gaussian Schell-model beams in passage through an astigmatic lens

Starting from the propagation law of partially coherent light, a closed-form expression for the spectrum of Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beams propagating through an astigmatic lens is derived, which enables us to study the dependence of spectral shift of GSM beams on the astigmatism of the lens and spatial coherence of GSM beams both analytically and numerically. A comparison with the aberration-free case is made, and shows that the astigmatism affects the spectral behavior of GSM beams. Two special cases of the full coherence and incoherence are discussed and illustrated physically.     

Focal switching of partially coherent modified Bessel–Gaussian beams passing through an astigmatic lens with circular aperture

The axial intensity distribution of partially coherent modified Bessel–Gaussian (PCMBG) beams passing through an astigmatic lens with circular aperture is derived on the basis of Collins formula. The influences of truncation parameter δ and astigmatic coefficient α on the axial intensity distribution are presented. The research shows that the axial intensity changes with the variation of α, and twice focal switches have been found. Furthermore, the physical interpretation of the twice focal switches is given and is also illustrated by numerical calculations. It has been revealed that the existence of astigmatism and the effect of the truncation parameter are the two main reasons for the twice focal switches of PCMBG beams passing through an astigmatic lens with circular aperture.     

Propagation properties of partially polarized Gaussian Schell-model beams through an astigmatic lens

Based on the beam coherent-polarization (BCP) matrix approach and propagation law of partially coherent beams, analytical propagation equations of partially polarized Gaussian Schell-model (PGSM) beams through an astigmatic lens are derived, which enables us to study the propagation-induced polarization changes and irradiance distributions at any propagation distance of PGSM beams through an astigmatic lens within the framework of the paraxial approximation. Detailed numerical results for a PGSM beam passing through an astigmatic lens are presented. A comparison with the aberration-free case is made, and shows that the astigmatism affects the propagation properties of PGSM beams.

This paper studies the focusing properties of Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beams by an astigmatic aperture lens. It is shown that the axial irradiance distribution, the maximum axial irradiance and its position of focused GSM beams by an astigmatic aperture lens depend upon the astigmatism of the lens, the coherence of partially coherent light, the truncation parameter of the aperture and Fresnel number. The numerical calculation results are given to illustrate how these parameters affect the focusing property.

The effect of astigmatism on the phase singularities of focused beams

The phase singularities of plane beams focused by an aperture lens with astigmatism are studied. Numerical calculation results are given to illustrate the dependence of phase singularities of focused plane beams on the astigmatic coefficient and the Fresnel number. It is shown that as the Fresnel number gradually increases, the phase singularities shift not only towards the z-axis but also towards the geometrical focal plane in the presence of astigmatism, whereas the phase singularities move along the focal plane and always line in the focal plane for the astigmatism-free case. With increasing astigmatic coefficient, the phase singularities shift not only towards the z-axis but also far away from the geometrical focal plane.

Propagation of astigmatic stochastic electromagnetic beams in oceanic turbulence

In this paper, we investigate the characteristics of astigmatic stochastic electromagnetic beams through oceanic turbulence. Taking the electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beam as an example, the analytic expressions for the spectral density and the spectral degree of polarization of the beam propagating the oceanic turbulence are derived. It is indicated that the spectral density along the z-axis of the GSM beam in the oceanic turbulence is severely influenced by the source correlation properties, as well as by the sea-related parameters. We show that the characteristics of the spectral density along the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis of astigmatic electromagnetic GSM beams passing through the oceanic turbulence are qualitatively different. Furthermore, we find that as the astigmatic coefficient becomes larger, the maximum value of the spectral density along the z-axis increases rapidly and the width of the spectral density becomes shorter rapidly. Finally, the results have shown that different strengths of astigmatism have different effects on the spectral degree of polarization.     

Spectral changes of aberrated stochastic electromagnetic flat-topped beams propagating in turbulent atmosphere

In this paper, taking the electromagnetic partially coherent flat-topped (PCFT) beam as an example, we investigate the spectral changes of stochastic electromagnetic beams with astigmatic aberration propagating through a turbulent atmosphere. The analytic expressions for the spectrum of the beams propagating through the turbulent atmosphere are derived. It is shown that the spectral changes of the electromagnetic PCFT beams in the turbulent atmosphere are closely related with the astigmatism aberration, the strength of atmospheric turbulence, the inner scale of turbulence, the correlation of source and the order of flatness of electromagnetic PCFT beams. It is important to note that the spectral changes of the aberrant electromagnetic PCFT beams are insensitive to the atmospheric turbulence. Some possible explanations have also been given for the interesting physical phenomena.     

Transformation and spatial shaping of partially coherent cosh-Gaussian beams through an astigmatic lens

Based on the propagation law of partially coherent beams, the closed-form propagation expression for partially coherent cosh-Gaussian (ChG) beams through an astigmatic lens is derived. The transformation and spatial shaping of partially coherent ChG beams through the astigmatic lens are studied and illustrated by numerical examples. It is shown that a suitable choice of the spatial coherence parameter and/or astigmatic coefficient, different beam profiles, such as Gaussian-like, flat-topped and bottle beam profiles, and beam profile with a central dip, at the geometric focal plane and at a certain plane are realizable.     

Vortex-edge dislocation interaction in the presence of an astigmatic lens

The vortex-edge dislocation interaction in the presence of an astigmatic lens is studied both analytically and numerically, where the effect of astigmatism is stressed. It is shown that for the aberration-free case the edge dislocation bending and break up into a pair of oppositely charged vortices and the shift of the initial vortex appear. The astigmatism leads to some richer vortex evolution behavior. By suitably varying the astigmatic coefficient of the lens, the motion, creation, annihilation and shift to infinity of vortices take place. The off-axis distance additionally affects the vortex evolution behavior for the case of the on-axis vortex and off-axis edge dislocation interaction. In the vortex evolution process the total topological charge is not conserved in general.
