Abstract
An analytical expression for the elements of the cross-spectral density matrix of electromagnetic multi-Gaussian Schell-model beams with astigmatic aberration propagating through the turbulent ocean is derived. We investigate the statistical characteristics of the beams on propagation in great detail. It is found that, due to astigmatism, the circular symmetry of such beams suffers a certain degree of damage in the near field. In addition, astigmatism also destroys the attractive far-field flat profiles in free space. Meanwhile, we also show that astigmatism and oceanic turbulence both have certain effects on the spectral degree of polarization.
