Wave-field Imaging with Partially Coherent Light

Laura Waller, Lei Tian, George Barbastathis, Jason W. Fleischer

Abstract

Coherent (laser) light is fully determined by its amplitude and phase, whereas partially coherent light must involve higher-order statistical descriptions, offering inherently more degrees-of-freedom. We describe and compare practical methods for non-interferometric measurement of such higher-dimensional beams.
