Abstract
We analyze the focusing of wave fields of any state of coherence by systems with low Fresnel numbers. We study the optical intensity on the axis in th e focal region. The dependence of the focal shift and of the maximum on-axi s intensity on the state of coherence is examined for some model fields. (C ) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
