DVan Cittert–Zernike theorem

D.1 INTRODUCTION

The Van Cittert–Zernike theorem describes the character of propagation of mutual intensity function from an incoherent source and thus becomes a very important tool in modern optical imaging. This theorem becomes very important for almost all optical incoherent sources for imaging. This theorem was first demonstrated by Van Cittert and Zernike[47]. This theorem also was used by Takeda et.al[46] to demonstrate coherence holography described in chapter 6 of this book.

D.2 THEORETICAL EXPLANATION

In case of quasimonochromatic light[47], the propagation of mutual intensity is given by,

V(P1,P2)=∫∫Σ∫∫ΣV(q1,q2)e[−i2πλ(r2−r1)]Γ(θ1)λr1Γ(θ2)λr2dA1dA2(D.1)

The term V(q1,q2) represents initial state of coherence ...
