Tiivistelmä
The most frequently used experimental techniques for measuring the spatial coherence properties of classical light fields in the space–frequency and space–time domains are reviewed and compared, with some attention to polarization effects. In addition to Young’s classical two-pinhole experiment and several of its variations, we discuss methods that allow the determination of spatial coherence at higher data acquisition rates and also permit the characterization of lower-intensity light fields. These advantages are offered, in particular, by interferometric schemes that employ only beam splitters and reflective elements, and thereby also facilitate spatial coherence measurements of broadband fields.
