Abstract

far-field spectral density

mixed linear combination

spatial coherence state

complex degree of coherence

We propose a method for structuring the spatial coherence state of light via mixed linear combinations of N complex degrees of coherence (CDC) and specify the conditions under which such combinations represent a valid CDC. Several examples demonstrate that this method opens previously unknown avenues for modeling random sources, radiating to light fields with unique features.
