Abstract
Distribution functions in the space-angle or in the time-frequency phase-space are a powerful tool to describe partially coherent radiation. For the application under consideration it is sufficient to consider coherent radiation. In this special case the complex field strength E as a function of time t and space x, respectively, does exist. The distribution functions of the Cohen class1 may be defined as2.
