Abstract

In this paper we will show that temporal and spatial coherence can be exploited from an incoherent source for complex amplitude processing. The method is by dispersing the spectral content and spatially encoding the incoherent source such that high temporal and desired spatial coherence can be obtained. To confirm our argument, experimental demonstrations are provided.
