Abstract
We experimentally realize bona fide twisted Gaussian Schell-model (TGSM) beams by converting an anisotropic GSM beam into a TGSM beam with a set of just three cylindrical lenses. In contrast to the previously reported experimental technique for generating TGSM beams, we are able to explicitly generate anisotropic GSM beams with simultaneously controlled beam widths and transverse coherence lengths along two mutually orthogonal directions, prior to converting them to genuine TGSM beams.
