Image formation by in-line Fraunhofer holography is theoretically and experimentally treated from a viewpoint of coherence theory. It becomes apparent that the effective size of the hologram is reduced by partially coherent light and the reconstructed image is broadened by a degree of spatial and temporal coherence of the illuminating light. Throughout the paper a method of stationary phase is used for evaluating the propagation of the coherence function.
