Eikonal equation for partially coherent fields

Synthesis of sources with Markovian features

“…An accurate representation for the amplitude function on an arbitrary point (x, z) is obtained from the angular spectrum model where (u, p) are the spatial frequencies, T(u) is the Fourier transform of the transmittance function. In a previous paper [15], we prove that the amplitude correlation function between two arbitrary points (X1, X2), is given by…”

“…values represented by α, β, and in Figure 3(b) and (c) we show the effect of the convolution between the coherent source and each curve for two slightly different amplitudes. The coherence parameters of the source can be obtained following the Wolf formalism [6,15], this implies integrals hard to calculate. We avoid the explicit calculus of this, using the fact that coherence features are manifested by the redistribution energy, that is, the radiometric features of the optical field are modified.…”
