A new correlation-based definition for optical moments is presented, enabling the characterization of beams with any coherence state. This method offers a unified approach for analyzing spatial and angular moments in linear optical systems.

Area of Science:

  • * Optics
  • * Quantum Optics
  • * Mathematical Physics

Background:

  • * Traditional optical moment definitions are limited in scope.
  • * Characterizing beams with arbitrary coherence states requires advanced methods.
  • * Existing propagation laws for moments are often specific to certain definitions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • * To introduce a generalized correlation-based definition for optical moments of arbitrary order.
  • * To derive a transformation law for these moments during propagation through linear optical systems.
  • * To demonstrate the utility of these moments for fully characterizing beams with arbitrary coherence states.

Main Methods:

  • * Development of a generalized correlation-based definition for moments.
  • * Derivation of a transformation law for these moments.

  • * Comparison of the derived law with the Wigner distribution function-based propagation law.

    • Main Results:

    • * A novel, generalized definition for optical moments is established.
    • * A transformation law for these correlation-based moments is derived, mirroring the Wigner function approach.
    • * The derived moments are shown to fully characterize beams across all coherence states.

    Conclusions:

    • * The introduced correlation-based moments provide a powerful and unified framework for optical beam analysis.
    • * The derived transformation law simplifies the study of beam propagation in linear optical systems.
    • * This generalized approach enhances the understanding and characterization of optical beams, particularly those with complex coherence properties.
