Abstract In this paper, we investigate a comparative analysis of some Generalized Laguerre-Gaussian Schell-model beams through a paraxial ABCD optical system in a turbulent atmosphere. Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel diffraction integral, analytical expressions for the spectral density in the receiver plane of the studied beams are derived in detail. By studying the effects of the source coherence parameters and the atmospheric turbulence strength, the numerical results indicate that the profile of these Schell-model beams takes different shapes during their propagation.

The focusing properties of a so-called reflaxicon (a combination of a diverging and a converging axicon) are studied both theoretically and experimentally. Calculations of intensity distributions produced by this system are made by evaluating the Kirchhoff–Fresnel diffraction integral, first by means of an approximate technique, the stationary phase method, then by a more exact numerical method. The calculations are presented for various planes along the axis of the axicons. The effects of the presence of the supporting mount of the axicons and of some important misalignments of the system on the distributions is also investigated. Experimental results of actual intensity distributions produced by focusing a near-fundamental Gaussian beam by such a system are also presented and are seen to be in fair agreement with numerical calculations. Such calculations would be valuable in many applications for predicting important characteristics (e.g., peak intensity, length of the focal line, degree of asymmetry) of the intensity distributions formed by optical systems containing an axicon pair as the focusing component.

Two “amplified” quantum states, that is, amplified coherent state (ACS) and amplified squeezed vacuum (ASV), are considered in this paper by applying operator [Formula: see text] on coherent state (CS) and squeezed vacuum (SV), respectively. Here [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] denotes a amplification factor and [Formula: see text]) denote the creation (annihilation) operator. Along these two lines, we make a comparative analysis of properties for ACS and ASV. The considered properties include density matrix elements, Wigner function, mean photon number, second-order autocorrelation function, and quadrature squeezing. We derive analytical expressions and make numerical simulations for all the properties. The noteworthy results include: (1) the ACS has antibunching and squeezing characters; (2) the ASV will have the bunching and antibunching effect in small initial squeezing.
