Abstract
A wave-front-folded interferometer composed of a Kösters prism and
an image-forming lens provides a good way of measuring the complex degree
of spectral coherence. Demonstrative experiments are implemented by incorporation
of uncorrelated two-point spectral sources in the primary-source plane; these
sources establish a spatially partially coherent wave field over the secondary
source plane just in front of the interferometer. The complex degree of spectral
coherence of the secondary source is successfully measured after an a priori calibration is made for the interferometer that was
constructed.
