Abstract
The light emerging from the output aperture of a laser should be spatially coherent even when the laser is operated far below its threshold and behaves substantially as a thermal source. The spatial coherence has been demonstrated experimentally by photoelectric correlation measurements at different pairs of points in the aperture.
