Bessel-beam representation for partially coherent fields Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The Bessel-beam representation for partially coherent fields is introduced as an alternative to the familiar angular spectrum representation. This alternative representation is applied to far fields generated by partially coherent secondary sources, nondiffracting partially coherent fields, and statistically homogeneous fields. A scheme for generating nondiffracting partially coherent fields is also discussed. 1995 Optical Society of America.
