Degree of paraxiality of an electromagnetic multi-Gaussian Schell-model beam
Abstract:
The degree of paraxiality (DOP) of an electromagnetic multi-Gaussian Schell-model (EM-MGSM) beam was discussed, and the dependence of DOP on the characteristics of beam sources was investigated. It is shown that the parameters of beam sources, including the rms widths of the auto-correlation functions, the degree of polarization, and the boundary characteristics, play an important role in the DOP of the beam. To explain these phenomena, the far-zone divergence angle of the EM-MGSM beam was further discussed.

One-Degree-of-Freedom System
A one-degree-of-freedom system is defined by an independent variable that determines its state and behavior. One example of a one-degree-of-freedom system is a simple harmonic oscillator, such as a...
Degrees of Freedom
For example, suppose there are three unknown numbers whose mean is 10; although we can freely assign values to the first and second numbers, the value of the last number can not be arbitrarily assigned.

Degree of Unsaturation
The degree of unsaturation for hydrocarbons is U = (2C + 2 − H) / 2, where C is the number of carbon atoms and H is the number of hydrogen atoms.
