Abstract
Coherent (laser) light is fully determined by its amplitude and phase, whereas partially coherent light must involve higher-order statistical descriptions, offering inherently more degrees-of-freedom. We describe and compare practical methods for non-interferometric measurement of such higher-dimensional beams.
