Abstract

Some properties of the angular coherence functions have been considered. These are then used to study the propagation of the mutual coherence function. It is shown that the spectral coherence function in the far-field diffraction plane is directly proportional to the angular coherence function. This approach is applied to several cases of particular interest such as the coherent, the incoherent and the homogeneous sources. The case when the source is a black body having a circular opening is also considered and some polarization properties in the far-field diffraction plane are considered.
