Abstract
Properties of optical beams are subject of systematic research. The particular attention is focused to the coherent and noncoherent light beams characterized by the degree of spatial coherence µ=1 and µ=0, respectively. Realization of the source with the controllable degree of spatial coherence provides a possibility to examine the light properties during propagation with 0<µ<1. The light provided by that source was applied to the generation of various types of the pseudo-nondiffracting beams.
