Popis: International audience; We present modified scanning-type wavefront folding interferometers (WFIs), which allow spatial coherence measurements of non-uniformly correlated fields, where the degree of coherence is a function of two absolute spatial coordinates instead of coordinate separation only (Schell model). As an alternative to conventional prism-based WFI implementations, we introduce a scheme based on reflections by three mirrors. This setup allows us to avoid obstructions due to prism corners, and it is remarkably robust to polarization effects. Experimental results on measurement of fields that do not obey the Schell model are provided with the three-mirror WFI, and the results are compared to those obtained with a Young’s interferometer realized using a digital micromirror device.
