Stochastic complex transmittance screens for
synthesizing general partially coherent sources
Posted on 2020-01-13 - 22:12
We develop a method to synthesize any partially coherent source (PCS) with a
genuine cross-spectral density (CSD) function using complex transmittance screens. Prior
work concerning PCS synthesis with complex transmittance screens has focused on generating
Schell-model (uniformly correlated) sources. Here, using the necessary and sufficient condition
for a genuine CSD function, we derive an expression, in the form of a superposition integral, that
produces stochastic complex screen realizations. The sample autocorrelation of the screens is
equal to the complex correlation function of the desired PCS.We validate our work by generating,
in simulation, three PCSs from the literature—all have never been synthesized using stochastic
screens before. Examining planar slices through the four-dimensional CSD functions, we find
the simulated results to be in excellent agreement with theory implying successful realization of
all three PCSs. The technique presented herein adds to the existing literature concerning the
generation of PCSs and can be physically implemented using a simple optical setup consisting of
a laser, spatial light modulator, and spatial filter.
