    Graduate Van Cittert Zernike Theorem and associated Optical phenomenon

    Hmm, so as I see it, the mutual coherence function is basically the average/correlation between two fields separated by a time (i.e. time of travel for some separation) t. And it will be smaller for highly incoherent sources, but increase at very far ranges. (Yeah, mainly wikipedia level, but...

    Graduate Van Cittert Zernike Theorem and associated Optical phenomenon

    Hello colleagues So I've been trying to make head and tail of a paper concerning coherence holography. As I see it, it involves a sound understanding of the Van Cittrt Zernicke theorem I have linked the paper below, and I was wondering if someone could explain the physics going on behind and...

    Numerical integration methods applicable to a type of definite integral

    Numerical integration methods applicable to a type of definite integrl Hey, so I've been working on a program to numerically integrate an integral of the form ∫xnf(x) dx, LIM(0 to INF.) Here n can go to negative non integral values, say -3.7 etc. and f(x) is a function of sin, cos and...
