Generalized rays in first order optics: transformation properties of Gaussian Schell-model fields
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5575940
Propagation characteristics of Gaussian Schell model fields through first order optical systems and in free space are analyzed by the method of generalized rays. This allows the development of a simple geometrical description of these processes. The invariance of the degree of global coherence is established in full generality. Asymptotic behavior under free propagation and the emergence of a far zone universal structure are analyzed. New invariants associated with incoherent superpositions of such fields are found. 19 references.
