calculated temporal coherence Explanation: "Temporal Coherence is a measure of the correlation of light wave’s phase at different points along the direction of propagation." http://users.ntua.gr/eglytsis/OptEng/Coherence_p.pdf It doesn't just apply to light waves though. A good explanation (complete with ducks on water waves!) is shown here https://www.cyberphysics.co.uk/MobileVersion/topics/waves/co... . http://gdt.oqlf.gouv.qc.ca/ficheOqlf.aspx?Id_Fiche=8408643 gives a translation with the explanation in terms of light waves. Temporal coherence is used in seismic evaluations of oil fields described here https://www.earthdoc.org/content/papers/10.3997/2214-4609.20... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2021-02-03 22:41:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Asker, as far as I can tell they are used interchangeably, see http://www.electropedia.org/iev/iev.nsf/display?openform&iev... https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007/1-4020-... However, temporal coherence seems to be used more frequently than time coherence in books and publications. |
