Webof the van Cittert–Zernike theorem, which originated in optics. The basis for the theorem is a study published by van Cittert in 1934 and followed a few years later by a simpler … WebWe introduce an extension of the van Cittert–Zernike theorem to spatially incoherent sources with partial polarization. We show through a simple example that fields generated by such sources can possess correlation matrices with interesting properties. In particular, we show that by suitable modulation of the polarization state across the incoherent …

WebThe van Cittert-Zernike theorem states that the spatial coherence over a space illuminated by an incoherent extended source is described by the Fourier transform of the intensity distribution over the source. The theorem is usually used in a restricted case of the spatial coherence in a plane parallel to the source plane and illuminated by an ...
