Speckle Interferometry for a Partially Coherent Source,

Abstract

We have obtained the spatial frequency transfer function for speckle interferometry for the case when the source is partially coherent (spatially) and can be approximated by the quasi-stationary model. The transfer function has been examined, and relatively simple approximations to it have been found for the limiting cases of low and high spatial frequencies. These results reduce to previous results in the limiting case when the source is completely incoherent. (Author)
