โฆ Synopsis
A procedure for the retrieval of both the modulus and phase of the complex degree of spatial coherence of Schellmodel beams is theoretically discussed. It can recover two-dimensional degrees based upon a set of one-dimensional measurements. In order to illustrate this idea, some graphical matter of considering idealised system in the recovering process is shown.

We determine a general form of the cross-spectral density matrix and the spectral degree of coherence of the electric field of a fully spatially coherent electromagnetic beam. Our result implies that complete spatial coherence does not, in general, impose any conditions on the state of polarization
