Abstract
Every partially coherent field of illumination may be associated with a collection of generalized pencils of rays which, in turn, furnish a representation of the wave field. The hybrid Wolf function which represents the radiant energy of a thin pencil is shown to be a real, but not necessarily positive definite quantity. Such generalized pencils are used to represent certain familiar interferograms and recognize elementary results.
