“…Chen and Li have been researched the coherence properties and polarization modulation of QH beams scattered from anisotropic media [4][5]. The propagation properties of laser beams in random media like turbulence or human tissue are important for applications such as optical imaging, remote sensing and communication systems so more and more researchers are attracted [6][7][8][9][10][11]. The polarization "self-reconstructed" phenomenon in atmosphere turbulence has been known for a long time.…”

Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle and generalized Stokes theory, the evolution of polarization properties of beams generated by quasi-homogenous (QH) sources propagating in clear oceanic water was studied by the use of the oceanic turbulence spatial spectrum function. The results show that the beams have similar polarization self-reconstructed behavior under different turbulence conditions in the far field, but if the propagation distance is not long enough, the degree of polarization (DOP) fluctuates with much more complexity than state of polarization (SOP) of QH beams. The self-reconstructed ability of DOP at the special distance in turbulence would get to the best value if the values of coherence of width were chosen suitably, but for SOP, it has no best value.

“…In the past several years, electromagnetic GSM beam has been investigated widely due to its importance in theories of coherence and polarization and in some applications, e.g. free-space optical communications [56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71]. Several methods have later been proposed for their synthesis [56,57].…”

“…conditions that the parameters of the source should satisfy to produce a physically realizable field, have also been established for electromagnetic GSM beam [58,59]. Propagation of electromagnetic GSM beams through free space, turbulent atmosphere, human tissue and gradientindex fiber have been extensively studied [60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71]. Cai and co-workers have applied the tensor method to obtain the analytical propagation formulae for electromagnetic GSM beams passing through paraxial ABCD optical system in free space and in turbulent atmosphere [72][73][74], and investigated the evolution properties of electromagnetic GSM beam in dispersive media and in resonators [75][76][77][78].…”

Abstract:In this paper, we give a review of the tensor method for treating the propagation of scalar and electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beams. Partially coherent complex curvature tensor is introduced to describe a scalar astigmatic partially coherent GSM beam with twisted phase (i.e., twisted anisotropic GSM beam). A tensor ABCD law for treating the propagation of scalar twisted anisotropic GSM beam through a paraxial astigmatic optical system is derived. The tensor method is then applied to treat the propagation of a scalar twisted anisotripic GSM beam through an apertured optical system, fractional Fourier transform optical system, dispersive and absorbing media, turbulent media. Furthermore, we applied the tensor method to treat the propagation of an electromagnetic GSM beam. Propagation formulae for an electromagnetic GSM beam passing through a paraxial astigmatic optical system in free space and in turbulent atmosphere are derived. The propagation properties of an electromagnetic GSM beam in a Gaussian cavity and in turbulent atmosphere are also reviewed.
