Abstract

We introduce a class of partially coherent sources, which are capable of producing beams with radially quasi-periodic and azimuthally fully periodic intensity profiles. The physical properties of the source, as well as the propagation of the intensity distribution and the complex degree of spatial coherence of the ensuing beams are investigated and interpreted. It is shown that the shape and symmetry of the intensity and the degree of spatial coherence are generally adjustable and modulated by the parameters related to the beam source. Moreover, the periodic changes of intensity arise from the discontinuity of the phase. The results provide a method for synthesizing fields with peculiar periodic intensity distributions in polar coordinates.
