Coherent-mode decomposition of partially polarized, partially coherent sources Piquero Sanz, Gemma María Gori, Franco Santarsiero, Massimo Simon, Raja Borghi, Riccardo Guattari, Giorgio © 2003 Optical Society of America. One of the authors (G. Piquero) acknowledges support from the project BFM2001-1356. It is shown that any partially polarized, partially coherent source can be expressed in terms of a suitable superposition of transverse coherent modes with orthogonal polarization states. Such modes are determined through the solution of a system of two coupled integral equations. An example, for which the modal decomposition is obtained in closed form in terms of fully linearly polarized Hermite Gaussian modes, is given. 2023-06-20T10:38:43Z 2023-06-20T10:38:43Z 2003-01 journal article 0740-3232 10.1364/JOSAA.20.000078 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/50879 http://dx.doi.org/10.1364/JOSAA.20.000078 http://www.opticsinfobase.org eng BFM2001-1356 open access Optical Society of America
