摘要：

In 1955 Wolf noticed that the mutual coherence function Gamma obeys two wave equations [Proc. R. Soc. London 230, 246 (1955)]. The physical optics of this finding is thoroughly presented in Mandel and Wolfs recent monograph [Optical Coherence and Quantum Optics (Cambridge U. Press, Cambridge, UK 1995)]. We discuss those coherence waves in the spirit of optical signal processing. The term coherence waves is justified if one accepts the following paradigm: A wave is whatever obeys the wave equation.
