Abstract
We study, experimentally as well as theoretically, the spatial coherence function and the Wigner distribution function for one-dimensional projections of optical vortices of different orders. The information entropy derived from the spatial coherence functions has been used to quantify the information content of the vortices and compared with those obtained for the Gaussian beam. The experimental results verify the theoretical findings of Agarwal and Banerji [ Opt. Lett. 27, 800 (2002)].
