Realizability condition for electromagnetic Schell-model sources

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The set of functions that appear in the correlation matrix of an electromagnetic source must satisfy the constraint of nonnegative definiteness. Here we derive a necessary and sufficient condition for nonnegativeness for the class of electromagnetic Schell-model sources. This result also suggests a possible synthesis procedure for this type of source. As an illustration, two specific examples of electromagnetic Schell-model sources are discussed.
