The Spectral Degree of Coherence of a Random Three-dimensional Electromagnetic Field

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The complex spectral degree of coherence of a general random statistically stationary electromagnetic field is introduced in a manner similar to the way it is defined for beam-like fields: by means of Young’s interference experiment. This quantity is measurable. The results are of particular interest for near-field optics.
