$Experimental setup. (a) Generation of the partially coherent fractional vortex beams with different amplitudes and coherence lengths. BE, beam expander; L1, L2, L3, L4, thin lenses, with focal lengths of 100, 150, 300, and 300 mm, respectively; RGGD, rotating ground glass disk; BS, beam splitter; SLM, spatial light modulator; USAF (1951USAF resolution test chart) acts as an object; CCD1, charge coupled detector (ECO445); CCD2, electron-multiplying CCD. The first line of (b) and (c) is the hologram patterns loaded to the SLM for generating a fractional vortex beam with l=2.5. The second row of (d) and (e) is the experimental results of the focused fractional vortex beams (source intensities are inserted). PV, plane wave vortex beam; EGV, elliptic Gaussian vortex beam. LG, Laguerre–Gaussian vortex beam. High C, high coherence; δ0=1.5 mm. MC, medium coherence; δ0=0.4 mm. LC, low coherence; δ0=0.25 mm.$
