The analytical formula for the quantum degree of polarization of a partially coherent Laguerre–Gaussian beam is derived based on the quantum Stokes operators and the extended Huygens–Fresnel principle. It is shown that the zenith angle slightly affects the polarization degree of partially coherent ...
We show that the curvature of the wavefronts in the biaxial Gaussian beams correspond to the curvature of the Fresnel wave surface at the central wave vector of the beam. We obtain the higher-order modes of the biaxial beams, including the biaxial Hermite–Gaussian and Laguerre–Gaussian ...
