Angular spread of Gaussian Schell-model array beams propagating through atmospheric turbulence

The closed-form expression for the angular spread of Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) array beams propagating through atmospheric turbulence is derived. It is shown that the angular spread θ _sp of GSM array beams for the superposition of the cross-spectral density function is smaller than of those for the superposition of the intensity. However, the θ _sp of GSM array beams for the superposition of the intensity is less sensitive to turbulence than that for the superposition of the cross-spectral density function. For the superposition of the cross-spectral density function, θ _sp of GSM array beams with smaller coherence length σ ₀, smaller waist width w ₀, smaller beam number N, and larger separation distance x _d are less affected by turbulence than of those with larger σ ₀,w ₀,N, and smaller x _d ; while, for the superposition of the intensity, the effect of turbulence on θ _sp is independent of N and x _d . In addition, the angular spread is nearly the same for the two types of superposition when σ ₀ or w ₀ is small enough, or x _d is large enough. On the other hand, it is found that there exist equivalent GSM array beams for the two types of superposition which may have the same directionality as the corresponding fully coherent Gaussian beam in free space and also in turbulence.

Propagation of the off-axis superposition of partially coherent beams through atmospheric turbulence

The propagation properties of the off-axis superposition of partially coherent beams through atmospheric turbulence and their beam quality in terms of the mean-squared beam width w(z) and the power in the bucket (PIB) are studied in detail, where the effects of partial coherence, off-axis beam superposition and atmospheric turbulence are considered. The analytical expressions for the intensity, the beam width and the PIB are derived, and illustrative examples are given numerically. It is shown that the maximum intensity I_max and the PIB decrease and w(z) increases as the refraction index structure constant C_n² increases. Therefore, the turbulence results in a degradation of the beam quality. However, the resulting partially coherent beam with a smaller value of spatial correlation parameter γ and larger values of separate distance x_d and beam number M is less affected by the turbulence than that with a larger value of γ and smaller values of x_d and M. The main results obtained in this paper are explained physically.     

Propagation properties of partially coherent Laguerre-Gaussian beams in turbulent atmosphere

To study the propagation properties of partially coherent Laguerre-Gaussian (PLG) beams through turbulent atmosphere, the analytical formulas are derived for the angular width and the beam-propagation factor (M²-factor) of PLG beams by using the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle and the second-order moments of the Wigner distribution function (WDF). The corresponding numerical results are also calculated. When propagation distance increases, the angular width is found to spread faster for PLG beams with higher beam order, smaller correlation length and bigger structure constant The angular width of PLG beams decreases with increase in waist width (w₀).The M²-factor of PLG beams with higher beam order and smaller correlation length is less affected by turbulence with increase in propagation distance. The propagation properties of the M²-factor for PLG beams with the smaller structure constant are better than that with bigger structure constant . The M²-factor of PLG beams decreases with increase in the wavelength λ, and it is also less affected by turbulence for beams with higher order and smaller correlation length. Furthermore, for the PLG beams with the same beam order, the angular width and the M²-factor keep invariable in free space.     

Spreading of apertured partially coherent beams in turbulent media

The closed-form expression for the mean-squared width of apertured partially coherent beams propagating through turbulent media is derived by using the integral transform technique. The influence of turbulence on the spreading of apertured partially coherent beams is studied quantitatively by examining the relative mean-squared width, which is defined as the ratio of the mean-squared width of an apertured partially coherent beam in turbulence to the mean-squared width of the same beam in free space. On the other hand, the range of turbulence-independent propagation, also a reasonable measure of the resistance of a beam to turbulence, is obtained by examining the mean-squared width. It is shown that the spreading of apertured partially coherent beams is less affected by turbulence with smaller truncation parameter δ and coherence parameter α than with larger δ and α. In addition, the influence of turbulence on the spreading of apertured partially coherent beams increases first and then decreases due to increasing waist width w₀. The results obtained are explained physically.     

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 beam quality of nonparaxial Hermite-sine-Gaussian beam

Based on the theory of the second intensity moment of nonparaxial scalar beam and the method of angular spectrum, the expressions for the far-field divergence angle, waist width and M² factor of nonparaxial Hermite-sine-Gaussian (HSiG) beams are derived. Calculation and analysis show the dependence of the far-field divergence angle of nonparaxial HSiG beams on the parameter w₀/λ, as well as on order m, And it with even and odd orders approach 73.898° and 63.435° as w₀/λ → 0. With increasing order m and the parameter w₀/λ, the waist width increase monotonously, which is same as paraxial case. But nonparaxial M² factor is different from paraxial case, it cannot only less than 1, but also approach 0 as w₀/λ → 0.
