Influence of Polarization on the Spectral Changes of Stochastic Electromagnetic Pulsed Beams

Article Preview

Abstract:

An analytical expression for the spectrum of stochastic spatially and temporally partially coherent electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model pulsed (GSMP) beams is derived, and used to study the spectral changes of electromagnetic GSMP beams in free space. The influence of polarization on the on-axis relative spectral shift is emphasized. It is shown that the on-axis relative spectral shift increases with increasing the degree of polarization of source P0 for the case of δxx≠δyy, i.e. the spatial coherence length δxx of x component of the electric field at the source is not equal to that of y component. For δxx=δyy or δxx→∞ and δyy→∞, the on-axis relative spectral shift is independent of P0.
