Abstract
On the basis of the extended Huygens–Fresnel integral formula, analytical propagation formulae for radially polarized partially coherent beam propagating in turbulent atmosphere are derived, and some analyses are illustrated by numerical examples. It is shown that the structure constant of turbulent atmosphere and the initial coherence length have significant influence on the degree of polarization and coherence for radially polarized partially coherent beam.
