Abstract
We study theoretically and experimentally the influence of the obstacle position separation from the source on the self-healing capacity of partially coherent beams using Hermite-Gaussian correlated Schell-model beams as a case in point. We establish that the shorter the distance between the obstacle and the source plane and the longer the distance between the obstacle and the observation (receiver) plane, the better the self-healing capacity of the beams. In addition, a similarity degree between the reconstructed and original beams is introduced to quantify the self-healing capacity of partially coherent beams. The derived interesting results may find applications in optical information processing, image transmission, and recovery.
