RT Journal Article T1 On z-coherence in self-focusing A1 Gori, F. A1 Martínez Herrero, María Rosario A1 Piquero Sanz, Gemma María A1 Sande, J. C. G. de A1 Korotkova, O. A1 Santarsiero, M. AB Both the intensity distribution and the degree of coherence between pairs of points along the propagation axis (z-coherence) are derived in closed form for a phenomenon of self-focusing produced by circularly coherent light. The first confirms results previously obtained numerically, while the second exhibits new complex features. The physical interpretation is obtained by a suitable pseudo-modal expansion that suggests an analogy with a simple two-mode structure.
