Abstract
Abstract A general expression for the mutual coherence function of an electromagnetic field propagating in a fibre waveguide is presented by means of classical coherence formalism and the guided modes field representation. Moreover, this expression is applied to a limiting case of the fibre waveguide excitation by cross-spectrally pure, spatially coherent and quasi-monochromatic source with a symmetrical spectrum. In particular, the complex degree of both spatial and temporal coherence at the exit face of a two-mode, weakly-guiding, step-index fibre waveguide is discussed as a function of an exciting condition of guided modes, an intermodal dispersion and a temporal coherence of the source, respectively.
