Abstract: | Taking the stochastic electromagnetic J
0-correlated Schell-model pulsed
(JSMP) beam as a typical example of stochastic spatially and spectrally
partially coherent electromagnetic pulsed beams, the analytical expressions
for the cross-spectral density matrix, spectral density, spectral degree of
polarization and spectral degree of coherence of stochastic electromagnetic
JSMP beams propagating in free space are derived, and used to study the
changes in the spectrum, polarization, and coherence of stochastic spatially
and spectrally partially coherent electromagnetic JSMP beams. It is shown
that the on-axis spectrum is blue-shifted in free-space propagation and is
dependent on the pulse temporal coherence length and spatial correlation
parameter. The distribution of the on-axis spectral degree of polarization
depends on the frequency and spatial correlation parameter. The spectral
degree of coherence increases with increasing pulse temporal coherence
length. The results derived are interpreted physically. |
