Bessel-beam representation for partially coherent fields
TLDR
In this paper, the Bessel-beam representation for partially coherent fields is introduced as an alternative to the familiar angular spectrum representation, applied to far fields generated by partially coherent secondary sources, nondiffracting partially coherent field, and statistically homogeneous fields.Abstract:
The Bessel-beam representation for partially coherent fields is introduced as an alternative to the familiar angular spectrum representation. This alternative representation is applied to far fields generated by partially coherent secondary sources, nondiffracting partially coherent fields, and statistically homogeneous fields. A scheme for generating nondiffracting partially coherent fields is also discussed.read more

Propagation-Invariant Optical Fields
TL;DR: In this paper, Turunen and Friberg dealt with a class of fields with propagation-invariant properties such as the optical intensity distribution and applied them to scalar and electromagnetic approaches.

Propagation-invariant electromagnetic fields: theory and experiment
TL;DR: In this article, the vector concept of the propagation invariance is formulated to be applied to the stationary electromagnetic fields and analyzed exact solutions of the Maxwell equations are obtained on the basis of general propagation-invariant solutions of scalar Helmholtz equation.

TL;DR: It is shown that Bessel beams can be created from temporally incoherent broadband light sources including a halogen bulb and by using a supercontinuum source how the beam behaves as a function of bandwidth of the incident light field is elucidated.

Beams originated by J0-correlated Schell-model planar sources
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the behavior in propagation of the beams originated by J0-correlated Schell-model planar sources using the theory of coherence in the space-frequency domain, and found that, if the intensity profile across the source plane is Gaussian, the modes are the Bessel-Gauss beams.

Modal expansion for J0-correlated electromagnetic sources.
TL;DR: It is proved that a modal expansion can be built explicitly for any of these sources and given an example to illustrate the richness of their behavior.

Diffraction-free beams.
TL;DR: The first experimental investigation of nondiffracting beams, with beam spots as small as a few wavelengths, can exist and propagate in free space, is reported.

Exact solutions for nondiffracting beams. I. The scalar theory
TL;DR: In this paper, exact nonsingular solutions of the scalar-wave equation for beams that are non-diffracting were presented, which means that the intensity pattern in a transverse plane is unaltered by propagating in free space.

New theory of partial coherence in the space–frequency domain. Part I: spectra and cross spectra of steady-state sources
TL;DR: In this article, the cross-spectral density of a steady-state source of any state of coherence may be expressed in terms of certain new modes of oscillations, each of which represents a completely spatially coherent elementary excitation.
