Abstract

Abstract Coherence in the space-time domain and in the space-frequency domain are compared and found to be non-equivalent. Coherence in the space-time domain is sufficient for coherence in the space-frequency domain. Coherence in the space-frequency domain is not sufficient for coherence in the space-time domain. The source spectrum as well as coherence in the space-frequency domain effect coherence in the space-time domain. The coherence in the radiation field from two very different localized sources is studied. It is found that the fields are coherent throughout the far field region only if the sources are monochromatic.
