Optical coherence is a fundamental characteristic of light that plays a significant role in
understanding interference, propagation, light–matter interaction, and other fundamental …

In recent years, vortex beams with orbital angular momentum (OAM) have attracted more
and more attention. The wavefront of the OAM beams is helical, the intensity at the center of …

The review covers publications concerned with propagation of laser beams through
turbulent media described by the Kolmogorov theory and generalizations thereof to describe …

Partially coherent beams with a prescribed phase, state of polarization, and degree of
coherence display many extraordinary propagation properties and are preferred in many …

Scalar cosine-Gaussian-correlated Schell-model (CGCSM) beams of circular or rectangular
symmetry were introduced just recently. In this paper, a new kind of partially coherent vector …

We introduce a new class of non-uniformly correlated beams that are called rectangular
Hermite non-uniformly correlated (RHNUC) beams, which possess rectangular symmetry in …

We study the propagation properties of a recently introduced class of structured beams,
radially polarized Hermite non-uniformly correlated (RPHNUC) beams, in a turbulent …

In a recent publication [Opt. Lett. 42, 1512 (2017) OPLEDP 0146-9592 10.1364/OL.
42.001512], a novel class of partially coherent sources with circular coherence was …

Abstract Using the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle, the expressions for the cross-
spectral density function of both the circular and square multi-sinc Schell-model (MSSM) …

Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle, we have derived the analytical
expression of the average intensity of optical coherence lattices (OCLs) in oceanic …
