✦ Synopsis


Using the derived formulas for the transformation of 2 Â 2 cross-spectral density matrix of the stochastic electromagnetic beams propagating through ABCD optical systems and in the turbulent atmosphere, the changes in the generalized Stokes parameters of the beams propagating under these conditions can be investigated directly. Some typical numerical calculations are illustrated relating to the electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model beams passing through free space, focal system, dual-focus system, and the turbulent atmosphere with different structure parameters. Further extensions are also pointed out.
