部分相干厄米-高斯列阵光束通过湍流大气传输的方向性

推导出了部分相干厄米-高斯(H-G)列阵光束通过湍流大气传输的二阶矩束宽和远场发散角的解析公式。采用远场发散角作为光束方向性的评价参数,研究了部分相干H-G列阵光束通过湍流大气传输的方向性。研究表明:在一定条件下,部分相干H-G列阵光束与对应的高斯光束不论在自由空间还是湍流大气中均具有相同的方向性。此外,进一步研究发现,在自由空间中,由远场发散角和归一化远场平均光强分布所表征的部分相干H-G列阵光束的方向性是不一致的,但湍流可以使得两种描述相一致。这一结论与高斯-谢尔模型(GSM)列阵光束的相关结论存在差异。在自由空间中,与高斯光束具有相同远场发散角的非相干合成的GSM列阵光束与对应的高斯光束具有相同的归一化远场光强分布。

Directionality of Partially Coherent Hermite-Gaussian Array Beams Propagating in Atmospheric Turbulence

The closed-form expressions for the mean-squared beam width and the far-field divergence angle of partially coherent Hermite-Gaussian(H-G) array beams propagating in atmospheric turbulence are derived.The far-field divergence angle is chosen as the characteristic parameter of beam directionality,and the directionality of partially coherent H-G array beams propagating in atmospheric turbulence is studied.It is shown that under certain conditions,partially coherent H-G array beams may generate the same direct...
