Coherence control by laser scanning

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Partially coherent illumination provided by scanning an object with a laser beam is studied theoretically and experimentally. Two scanning system schemes are considered to produce different forms of spatial coherence functions. It is demonstrated that effective spatial coherence can be controlled by changing the range and width of the scanning beam.
