Generating electromagnetic Schell-model sources using complex screens with spatially varying auto- and cross-correlation functions

We present a method to generate any physically realizable electromagnetic Schell-model source. Our technique can be directly implemented on existing vector-beam generators that utilize spatial light modulators for coherence control, beam shaping, and relative phasing. This work significantly extends...
