A phase-space approach for propagating field–field correlation functions

We show that radiation from complex and inherently random but correlated wave sources can be modelled efficiently by using an approach based on the Wigner distribution function. Our method exploits the connection between correlation functions and the Wigner function and admits in its simplest approx...
