Popis: We present measurements of the transverse and longitudinal coherence lengths of the fourth harmonic of a 1053-nm, 2.5-ps laser generated during high-intensity (up to ${10}^{19}$ W ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}2}$) interactions with a solid target. Coherence lengths were measured by use of a Young's double-slit interferometer. The effective source size, as defined by the Van Cittert--Zernicke theorem, was found to be 10--12 \ensuremath{\mu}m, and the coherence time was observed to be in the range 0.02--0.4 ps. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
