Abstract
The behavior of beams originated by J(0)-correlated sources when they pass through a thin lens is analyzed. The corresponding transformation results are noteworthy, since they disclose meaningful properties of these beams, particularly when compared with a better known class of b eams, namely Gaussian-Schell model beams. We also verify that the laws of geometrical optics are clearly approximated as the coherence lengt h decreases.
