Coherence of Light Transmitted Through a Fourier-Transform Optical System. Light from a quasi-monochromatic spatially incoherent source with uniform intensity is transmit- ted through a thin slit of width 2a and travels between the front and back focal planes of a lens. Determine an expression for the normalized mutual intensity in the back focal plane.
