By performing certain operations on the beam, the coherence measurement reduces to a simple measurement of percent polarization. Measurements using this technique were performed on a beam from a He-Ne laser. Extensions of the presented experimental method were suggested.47 ppengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
