Numerical algorithm for the retrieval of spatial coherence properties of partially coherent beams from transverse intensity measurements

Abstract: A novel algorithm for the retrieval of the spatial mutual coherence function of the optical field of a light beam in the quasimonochromatic approximation is presented. The algorithm only requires that the intensity distribution is known in a finite number of transverse planes along the beam. The retrieval algorithm is based on the observation that a partially coherent field can be represented as an ensemble of coherent fields. Each field in the ensemble is propagated with coherent methods between neighboring p… Show more

“…The complete characterization of the 4D coherence function (so-called coherence measurement or coherence retrieval) has always been an active research area. The representative approaches include direct interferometric measurement [195,196], phase-space tomography [197,198], multi-plane coherence retrieval [199,200], are windowed Fourier transform approach [201,202].…”
