Abstract We consider a class of specular or anti-specular vector beams, by illuminating stochastic beams into prism-based wavefront-folding interferometer. Such transform is applied to various genuine model input and then the properties resulting fields are discussed. Numerical results show that nature these not only creates sharp internal spectral density distribution, but also produces novel polarization patterns with oscillations central dip on degree polarization-profile. optical characteristics can be flexibly modulated correlation structure source. suggest could efficiently employed in developing partially coherent beams.
