The Wigner distribution functions of coherent and partially coherent Bessel-Gaussian beams

Based on the integral representation of the Bessel functions and the generating function of the Tricomi function,an analytical expression of the Wigner distribution function(WDF) for a coherent or partially coherent Bessel-Gaussian beam is presented.The reduced two-dimensional WDFs are also demonstrated graphically,which reveals the dependence of the reduced WDFs on the beam parameters.     

Propagation of partially coherent Bessel-Gaussian beams in turbulent atmosphere

The characteristics of partially coherent Bessel-Gaussian beams propagating in turbulent atmosphere are investigated. Based on the extended Huygens–Fresnel principle, the influence of topological charges and coherence of the source on the intensity and the degree of coherence in the received plane are considered. The influence of atmospheric turbulence on beam profile and coherence in the received plane is also analyzed. It is found that a Bessel-Gaussian shaped intensity distribution will eventually transform into a Gaussian distribution after propagating in turbulent atmosphere. Meanwhile, topological charges, coherence of the source and atmospheric turbulence will also influence the propagation characterizations of the beams.     

部分相干光的轨道角动量及其谱的分析研究

针对光束轨道角动量的研究主要集中在相干光束的研究，而对于部分空间相干光束的轨道角动量研究较少，依据部分相干光的Wigner分布函数推导出部分相干光的轨道角动量表达式，分析了部分相干光的轨道角动量谱特性。采用Mercer展开法得到了轨道角动量谱，计算了给定部分相干光束的轨道角动量谱，讨论了部分相干性对轨道角动量谱的影响。研究结果表明：部分相干光和相干光具有相同的轨道角动量表达式，部分相干光的轨道角动量谱随着相干性的变差而愈发弥散，携带轨道角动量的部分相干光束的轨道角动量谱比不携带轨道角动量的部分相干光束的轨道角动量谱更容易受相干度的影响。

Consistency of the directionality of partially coherent beams inturbulence expressed in terms of the angular spread and the far-field average intensity

Under the quadratic approximation of the Rytov's phase structure function, this paper derives the general closed-form expressions for the mean-squared width and the angular spread of partially coherent beams in turbulence. It finds that under a certain condition different types of partially coherent beams may have the same directionality as a fully coherent Gaussian beam in free space and also in atmospheric turbulence if the angular spread is chosen as the characteristic parameter of beam directionality. On the other hand, it shows that generally, the directionality of partially coherent beams expressed in terms of the angular spread is not consistent with that in terms of the normalized far-field average intensity distribution in free space, but the consistency can be achieved due to turbulence.

Paraxial propagation of partially coherent flat-topped beam

The propagation of flat-topped beam passing through a paraxial optical ABCD system is extended to partially coherent case and has been studied in detail. Based on Wigner distribution function (WDF), the irradiance distribution of partially coherent flat-topped beam is derived. Furthermore, two propagation parameters, such as M²-factor and Power in Bucket (PIB) are illustrated analytically and numerically.     

Spreading of spatially partially coherent polychromatic beams in atmospheric turbulence

Taking the polychromatic Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beam as a typical example of spatially partially coherent polychromatic beams, the spreading of polychromatic GSM beams in atmospheric turbulence is studied. The mean-squared width of polychromatic GSM beams in turbulence is derived by using the effective source and the strong fluctuation models. It is shown that the same result is obtained using both the models. The diffraction, atmospheric turbulence and beam polychroism result in a spreading of polychromatic GSM beams. If the scaling law fails, the spreading of polychromatic GSM beams increases with increasing bandwidth Γ, but the influence of Γ on the spreading of polychromatic GSM beams becomes small as the structure constant C_n² of the refractive index and spatial correlation parameter α increase. The spreading of polychromatic GSM beams increases as C_n² increases and α decreases. Spatially partially coherent polychromatic beams are less sensitive to the effects of atmospheric turbulence than spatially fully coherent polychromatic beams.

Design of phase plates for shaping partially coherent beams by simulated annealing

Taking the Gaussian Schell-model beam as a typical example of partially coherent beams, this paper applies the simulated annealing （SA） algorithm to the design of phase plates for shaping partially coherent beams. A flow diagram is presented to illustrate the procedure of phase optimization by the SA algorithm. Numerical examples demonstrate the advantages of the SA algorithm in shaping partially coherent beams. An uniform flat-topped beam profile with maximum reconstruction error RE 〈 1.74% is achieved. A further extension of the approach is discussed.     

对“部分相干高斯光束的M2因子及模系数”一文的评论

 指出了发表于《强激光与粒子束》刊2000年12卷6期由楚晓亮、张彬所写“部分相干高斯光束的M²因子及模系数”（简称楚文）一文中的错误并作了物理分析。首先，楚文没有什么新的结果，因为同样的方法和同样的结果可在《Opt.Lett.》1998年23卷13期和《Appl.Opt.》1999年38卷25期中查到。再者，在楚文中未对如何唯一确定束腰尺寸v₀和如何产生他们所提出与文献[2，3]（文献[3]发表于《IEEE J.Qua nt.Electron.》1999年35卷6期）不同的部分相干高斯光束作任何物理解释，甚至连“设束腰尺寸v₀已知”的话也未提及，因此从楚文会导致错误的结论。     

Numerical propagation of partially coherent laser beams through optical systems

The propagation of partially coherent beams through optical systems is computed numerically in one transverse dimension. The optical system is divided into different elementary segments, through which the propagation of light can be calculated by appropriate operators, working on the coherence function or the Wigner distribution function respectively. For the necessary changes between these two functions describing the partially coherent beams, the use of the remarkable z-transform seems to be an advantage. With this algorithm the grid and the resolution in the spatial frequency domain can be arbitrarily chosen in contrast to the usual Fourier transform, the influence of phase aberrations on the focusability of Gauss-Schell model beams is discussed as an application example of the numerical model. With the help of this tool, practical beam guiding systems can be simulated for use with multimode laser radiation.     

Wigner functions and tomograms of the photon-depleted even and odd coherent states

Using the coherent state representation of Wigner operator and the technique of integration within an ordered product （IWOP） of operators, this paper derives the Wigner functions for the photon-depleted even and odd coherent states （PDEOCSs）. Moreover, in terms of the Wigner functions with respect to the complex parameter a the nonclassical properties of the PDEOCSs are discussed. The results show that the nonclassicality for the state ｜β, m〉o （or ｜β,m〉e） is more pronounced when m is even （or odd）. According to the marginal distributions of the Wigner functions, the physical meaning of the Wigner functions is given. Further, the tomograms of the PDEOCSs are calculated with the aid of newly introduced intermediate coordinate-momentum representation in quantum optics.
