Abstract

The analytical expressions for the spectral degree of coherence and spectral intensity of spatially and spectrally partially coherent cosh-Gaussian pulsed (ChGP) beams propagating in free space are derived. It is shown that the spectral degree of coherence and spectral intensity of spatially and spectrally partially coherent ChGP beams depend on the spatial correlation parameter, decentered parameter and temporal coherence length. Depending on the decentered parameter, the effective width of the spectral degree of coherence can be larger than, smaller than or equal to that of the spectral intensity. The results are illustrated by numerical examples.
