Abstract

We extend the wide-sense spatial stationarity concept of coherence holography in the regime of phase-space using the wigner distribution function. We focus mainly on the incoherent light source and the Fourier and Fresnel propagation kernels for the optical-field transformation rule (inputoutput relation) and derive the same analogy in WDF. We further show that in phase-space the WDF obtained from the ensemble-averaged and space-averaged coherence functions are the same. Finally, we interpret behaviour of these results through numerical simulations.
