An energy theorem for scattering of partially coherent beams
A recent generalization of the optical cross-section theorem is applied to obtain an expression for the rate at which energy is removed by scattering and absorption from a wide class of partially coherent beams. The class of beams considered includes the outputs of many lasers.
