[Phys-l] Review articles on coherence and speckle



Hello all,
 
I am wondering if anyone can suggest some articles that I can read that will give me an overview of chorence and its uses in optics?  I am a little confused between the difference of second order correlation and fourth order and why the former is generally all that is needed...
 
Thank you in anticipation.
Alex
