摘要：We introduce a class of random stationary, scalar source named as multi-cosineLaguerre- Gaussian-correlated Schell-model (McLGCSM) source whose spectral degree of coherence (SDOC) is a combination of the Laguerre-Gaussian correlated Schell-model (LGCSM) and multi-cosine-Gaussian correlated Schell-model (McGCSM) sources. The analytical expressions for the spectral density function and the propagation factor of a McLGCSM beam propagating in turbulent atmosphere are derived. The statistical properties, such as the spectral intensity and the propagation factor, of a McLGCSM beam are illustrated numerically. It is shown that a McLGCSM beam exhibits a robust ring-shaped beam array with adjustable number and positions in the far field by directly modulating the spatial structure of its SDOC in the source plane. Moreover, we provide a detailed insight into the theoretical origin and characteristics of such a ring-shaped beam array. It is demonstrated that these peculiar shaping properties are the concentrated manifestation of the individual merits respectively associated with the Laguerre- and multi-cosine-related factors of the whole SDOC. Our results provide a novel scheme to generate robust and controllable ring-shaped beam arrays over large distances, and will widen the potentials for manipulation of multiple particles, free-space optical communications and imaging in the atmosphere.
