Abstract
We present a novel method not only for determining the angular separat ion of unknown two-point spectral sources but also for obtaining each of their spectral profiles from measurements of both their complex deg ree of spectral coherence and their spectra across an observation area in the space-frequency domain. The theoretical predictions are fully proved by an experimental demonstration with a pair of uncorrelated tw o-point spectral sources. (C) 1998 Optical Society of America.
