GENERALIZED FRESNEL DIFFRACTION INTEGRAL AND ITS APPLICATIONS

Within the generalized definition of ABCDGH matrices, the conventional ABCDGH diffraction integral is extended for a misaligned complex paraxial system with a curved optical axis. On this basis the transformation law for Gaussian-Schell model beams through an ABCDGH systems is derived, the propagation behavior of the mutual coherence function through ABCDGH systems in the presence of random media is investigated as well.
