Abstract
Based on the theory of first-order Born approximation, analytical expressions for rectangular cosine-Gaussian Schell-model (RCGSM) beams scattered on a deterministic medium in the far zone are derived. In terms of the analytical formula obtained, the changes of a RCGSM beam’s scattered spectrum are numerically investigated. Results show that several parameters (including the scattering directions and , effective radius of the scattering medium, the initial beam’s correlation widths and , and line width of the incident spectrum) closely influence the distributions of the normalized scattered spectrum in the far zone. These features of a RCGSM beam scattered spectrum can be used to obtain information about the structure of a deterministic medium.
