Alternative coherent-mode representation of a planar electromagnetic source

摘要

Recently we have reported on the alternative coherent-mode representation of a scalar optical source which does not involve the solution of the Fredholm integral equation with the source cross-spectral density as a kernel but is based on results of usual radiometric measurements. Here we generalize such a representation for the case of vector electromagnetic source. The technique of constructing the proposed representation is illustrated with results of mathematical simulation.
