Resumen:
The concept of spatial coherence is usually hard to comprehend the first time that it is studied. We propose here a fully intuitive geometric description that does not containmathematical difficulties, and permits one to understand how a Young?s fringe stationarysystem is obtained with a source not spatially coherent. It is based in a very simpleexperiment that permits the detection of spatial coherence in a scene.Experimental results are shown. Using this approach, a Babinet-‐like principlefor the visibility of the Young?s fringes is proposed and experimentally demonstrated.
