Relationship between complete coherence in the space-time and in the space-frequency domains.
We present some new results relating to properties of completely coherent optical fields. Our analysis elucidates the relationship between the theories of such fields in the space-time and in the space-frequency domains. We also show that the concept of cross-spectral purity, introduced by L. Mandel many years ago, plays an important role in clarifying this relationship.
