TL;DR: In this paper, the process of image formation in an optical system with partially coherent illumination is represented as a superposition of completely coherent modal images, and two modal representations of a partially coherent imaging system are given.
Abstract: The process of image formation in optical system with partially coherent illumination is represented as a superposition of completely coherent modal images. Two modal representations of a partially coherent imaging system are given. The basic concepts are illustrated by en example of calculating the image intensity distribution.
