Abstract

The mathematical estimation of the degree of correlation of optical fields in the near field has been analyzed. New approach is proposed for estimating the degree of coherence of optical waves. The possibility of transformation of spatial polarization distribution in measured intensity distribution for estimating the degree of correlation of superposing vector waves linearly polarized at the incidence plane is shown..

Keywords
