Eikonal method for calculation of coherence functions

Adam M. Zysk, P. Scott Carney, John C. Schotland

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

A method is presented for computing the cross-spectral density of a special class of partially coherent fields in which the coherent modes obey an eikonal equation. This method allows for statistical analysis of optical systems based on simple ray tracing.
