Abstract

The coherence-time and the effective bandwidth of blackbody radiation are calculated on the basis of definitions proposed for these quantities by Wolf (5) and Mandel (6). The two sets of definitions are found to give results of the same order of magnitude. The coherencetime at room temperature (~300 °K) is found to be about 2 · 10-14 s, corresponding to a coherence-length in vacuum of 6 ·10-4 cm. A table of corresponding values for various temperatures is given.
