Abstract
- Abstract: General expressions are derived for the spectral degree of polarization of a beam generated by the superposition of two Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beams propagating in a turbulent atmosphere by adopting the beam coherence-polarization matrix and Young''s interference theory. We analyzed the distance of two beams, atmospheric turbulence intensity, and the location of the imaging plane affect the degree of polarization by numerical calculation. In particular, when the correlation coefficients of x and y components of the electric field are the same (i.e. δ xx = δ yy ), the degree of polarization will obtain the same value.
