Optical Beam Characterization via Phase-Space Tomography

This thesis focuses on the fundamental problem of characterising partially coherent beams. The book describes several non-interferometric methods based on phase-space tomography for recovering the spatial coherence information of optical beams.   In the context of optical beams, partially coherent l...
