This lecture discusses the principles of spatial coherence and its applications in holography. It covers transverse modes, emphasizing the significance of the TEM00 mode as the only fully spatially coherent mode. The talk addresses how any spatial mode can be represented as a combination of various transverse modes and the implications for spatial mode filtering. Additionally, it explores the loss of phase information in simple photography, two-beam interference, virtual image reconstruction, and phase contrast imaging, highlighting their relevance in creating 3D views of objects like red blood cells.
