The techniques of optical beam sha** have enabled progress in a broad range of
interdisciplinary science and engineering, owing to the unique properties and promising …

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

Random Light Beams: Theory and Applications contemplates the potential in harnessing
random light. This book discusses light matter interactions, and concentrates on the various …

A new class of partially coherent beams with a separable phase, which carry optical vortices,
is introduced. It is shown that any member of the class can be represented as an incoherent …

For an electromagnetic stochastic beam, the choice of the mathematical structure of the
cross-spectral density matrix is limited by the constraint of non-negative definiteness. We …

We consider a class of beams that are both partially polarized and partially coherent from
the spatial standpoint. They are characterized by a correlation matrix whose elements have …

Analytical formulas are derived for the propagation of a partially coherent twisted anisotropic
Gaussian Schell-model (TAGSM) beam in a turbulent atmosphere. Propagation properties of …

A 4× 4 complex curvature tensor M^-1 is introduced to describe partially coherent
anisotropic Gaussian–Schell model (GSM) beams. An analytical propagation formula for the …

We present an approach for describing the properties of a quasi-monochromatic, beam-like
field that is both partially polarized and partially coherent from the spatial standpoint. It is …

We introduce a class of partially coherent temporal/spatial sources, optical coherence
gratings/lattices that have a Gaussian intensity profile and statistically stationary …
