Paper Abstract
Partially coherent light provides attractive benefits for different applications in microscopy, astronomy, telecommunications,
optical lithography, etc. However, design and generation of partially coherent beams with desirable
properties is challenging. Moreover, the experimental characterization of the spatial coherence is a difficult
problem involving second-order statistics represented by four-dimensional functions that cannot be directly measured
and analyzed. We discuss the techniques for design and generation of partially coherent structurally stable
beams and the recently developed phase-space tomography methods supported by simple experimental setups for
practical quantitative characterization of partially coherent light spatial structure, including its local coherence
properties.
