%0 Book Section %T Propagation of partially coherent and partially polarized beams through periodic linear deterministic structures publisher IEEE %D 2016 %U 978-1-5090-2163-5 %@ https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/24945 %X The propagation of partially coherent and partially polarized beams after a linear deterministic periodic structure is investigated. Spatial irradiance, degree of polarization and state of polarization across the transverse plane are obtained at the exit plane of the structure as well as after paraxial propagation beyond it. %~
