Abstract
An expression is derived for the intensity distribution due to a partially coherent field at a distance satisfying the Fresnel approximation. The Collet-Wolf equivalence theorem, which provides conditions under which sources of different states of coherence generate the same intensity distribution in the far zone, is examined in the Fresnel zone.
