Abstract

The analytical propagation equations for partially coherent four-petal Gaussian vortex beams propagating through uniaxial crystals orthogonal to the optical axis are derived, and the propagation properties are analyzed by numerical examples. The influence of beam order $n$, topological charge M, the coherence length, and the ratio of refractive index $n_e/n_o$ on the normalized intensity distribution of partially coherent four-petal Gaussian vortex beams is discussed.
