Abstract

An understanding of phase singularities of correlation functions is important in optical coherence theory and imaging science, but to date such singularities have only been theoretically studied in a single transverse plane, at most. In this Letter we evaluate the complete structure of a correlation singularity of a partially coherent Laguerre-Gauss beam, describing it in both the transverse and the propagation directions. These results agree with previously found solutions, and introduce new aspects of correlation singularities.
