Abstract
In a recent publication, Stark and Fainman studied the temporal-coherence function of the scattered field from a random-phase screen moving with constant velocity in relation to the random phase ϕ(x) obeying the real Gaussian process [ J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 2, 437 ( 1985)]. In their analysis of field coherence, a normalized function was used for expressing the autocorrelation of the phase function, and its behavior was discussed graphically. Other properties of this function were discussed by Takai [ Opt. Commun. 14, 24 ( 1975)] in the study of speckle statistics.
