Lecture

Temporal Coherence in Light Waves

Description

This lecture covers the statistical properties of random light waves, including the wavefunction description for monochromatic and polychromatic light. It delves into temporal coherence, coherence functions, coherence time, coherence length, and power spectral density, emphasizing the relationship between temporal coherence and spectral density. The lecture also discusses different types of light sources for photonic systems, highlighting the importance of coherence in light sources for system performance.
