摘要
We introduce a novel type of twisted partially coherent beams with a nonconventional correlation function, named the twisted Hermite-Gaussian correlated Schell-model (THGCSM) beam. The condition that a twist phase can be imposed on a partially coherent beam is addressed for Schell-model fields endowed with rectangular symmetry. Further, the analytical formula for the THGCSM beam propagating in free space has been derived with the help of the generalized Collins formula. The propagation properties, such as the spectral density and the spectral degree of coherence (SDOC) of the THGCSM beam, also have been studied in detail by some numerical examples. The numerical results show that the twist phase plays a role in resisting beam splitting, caused by the correlation structure, and induces the rotation of the distribution of the SDOC on propagation. Moreover, it is interesting to find that when the beam carries a twist phase, this will endow the beam the ability to maintain its distribution of the SDOC on propagation and enhance the self -reconstruction capability of the SDOC. Our results may provide new insights into nonconventional partially coherent beams with twisted phase and may be useful in some applications, such as optical communications and information recovery.
