A. A. Maradudin, and I. Simonsen Control of the coherence of light transmitted through a one-dimensional randomly rough interface that acts as a Schell-model source Abstract
We show how to design a one-dimensional randomly rough interface between two dielectric media that, when illuminated at normal incidence by a Gaussian beam, produces a transmitted beam whose spectral density in the mean interface has a Gaussian form, while its spectral degree of coherence in this plane has a nearly arbitrary form.
