Abstract
The spatial coherence theory of optical fields radiated by statistically homogeneous, infinite, planar sources does not account for detailed surface characteristics. The real scattering media on the other hand have rough interfaces which may affect the field correlation in the neighborhood of the surface. As a result, the statistical characteristics of the interface are expected to also influence the spatial coherence properties of the radiation emitted.
