    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated measurement of normalized spectral coherence Stokes parameters and electromagnetic spectral degree of coherence.
    • Showed that normalized spectral polarization and coherence Stokes parameters remain unaffected by filtering.
    • Proved that filtered light is strictly cross-spectrally pure.
    • Experimentally confirmed that spatial coherence does not increase with reduced filter passband.

    Conclusions:

    • Narrowband filtering and fringe analysis provide a robust method for characterizing electromagnetic spectral spatial coherence.
    • The study clarifies the behavior of Stokes parameters under spectral filtering.
    • Established theoretical and experimental validation for the measurement techniques and findings.
