A Fourier processor for partially coherent fields

Abstract

We extend conventional coherent Fourier processing techniques to a partially coherent field and modify its spatial coherence using a 4f system. The coherence is measured by a modified Mach–Zehnder interferometer. Our results corroborate the predictions in [Opt. Lett. 42, 4600 (2017)10.1364/OL.42.004600] and can be extended to a more sophisticated processing of spatial coherence.
