Temporal coherence and polarization modulation of
pulse trains by resonance gratings
Posted on 2019-12-02 - 15:23
We analyze the effects of subwavelength-period resonance gratings on temporally partially coherent optical
plane-wave pulse trains. The interaction of the grating with pulses is simulated with the Fourier
Modal Method and Finite Difference Time Domain method whose performances are compared. Both TE
and TM linearly polarized Gaussian Schell-model pulse trains are examined, and partial temporal coherence
is modeled with the identical elementary-pulse method. The polarization-dependent response of
the grating is seen to lead to significant variations in the average intensity, polarization properties, and
the degree of temporal coherence of the reflected (and transmitted) pulse trains when the coherence time
and polarization state of the incident field are altered. As an important example, we demonstrate that a
fully polarized incident pulse train can become partially polarized in grating reflection. The results find
use in tailoring of random electromagnetic pulse trains.
