Abstract

The recently developed theory that unifies the treatments of polarization and coherence of random electromagnetic beams is applied to study field correlations in Young's interference experiment. It is found that at certain pairs of points the transmitted field is spatially fully coherent, irrespective of the state of coherence and polarization of the field that is incident on the two pinholes.

摘要

最近发展的统一随机电磁光束偏振和相干性处理的理论被应用于研究杨氏干涉实验中的场相关性。研究发现，在某些点对处，透射场在空间上是完全相干的，而与入射到两个针孔上的场的相干和偏振状态无关。
