We introduce a class of specular and antispecular twisted Gaussian Schell-model beams, which are generated by inserting a twisted Gaussian Schell-model beam into a wavefront folding interferometer (WFI). The analytical expression for the cross-spectral density function of the beam propagating in free space is derived, and the statistical properties of the optical field are investigated in detail. The results show that the twisted effect maintains after the transformation, and the spectral density of the light field always rotates to 90 degrees around the axis during propagation. Furthermore, with appropriate optical field adjustment, the twist effect of the spectral degree of coherence (DOC) could be observed, but in opposite directions to the irradiance profile. We also find that the twisted phase not only controls the rotation of the field, but also effectively modulates the overall spot contour. For the far-field spectral density distribution, a larger twist effect would induce a smaller ellipticity of the beam spot. However, the intensity pattern in the central area is mainly determined by the phase difference of WFI. To be specific, the specular twisted field always has a sharp central peak during propagation, and in the antispecular case it has a central dip. Besides, the DOC distribution could be flexibly adjusted by the source coherence, the twisted phase and the phase difference of the WFI. The results of our work have important applications in the fields of free-space beam communication as well as particle trapping.
