The main objective of this project is to study the degree of light coherence recreating a Thompson and
Wolf experiment. For this purpose, a CCD and a measurement method based on the fast Fourier transform were used. Later, the laboratory setup was upgraded to broaden the analysis. This allowed us to control more parameters of the experiment and study the behaviour of the degree of light coherence with them. The project was carried out in two parts. First, the relation of the degree of light coherence with the experimental parameters was observed in simulations deployed in Octave and secondly the experiment was conducted with the old and the new laboratory equipment, which improved considerably the results
