Partially coherent sources which produce the same far-field intensity distribution as a laser
Emil Wolf,E. Collett +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that certain partially coherent model sources whose intensity distribution and degree of coherence are both gaussian will generate the same far-field intensity distributions as a completely coherent laser source.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beams generated by Gaussian quasi-homogeneous sources
E. Collett,Emil Wolf +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an explicit expression for the cross-spectral density function of the light in any cross-section perpendicular to the axis of a beam generated by a planar, steady-state, quasi-homogeneous source, whose intensity distribution and degree of spatial coherence are both gaussian, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of the Mueller-Stokes matrix using fourier analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, a general Fourier analysis of the Stokes parameters used for extracting the Mueller-Stokes matrix elements is made, and it is shown that by using an elliptically polarized beam in conjunction with a rotating half-wave plate only a d.c. and fourth harmonic terms arise whose coefficients are the Mueller Stokes matrices.
