Abstract

The normalized electric correlation tensor of second order is obtained for a superposition of blackbody radiation and a coherent beam of single mode. Several formulae for expressing the components of the spatial coherence tensor are obtained. The formulae of approximation valid for a small spatial separation, which are convenient for numerical calculations, are also derived. The behaviors of the spatial coherence functions are investigated numerically.
