- © 2020 SPIE.We introduce and generate the partially coherent non{canonical vortex beams and study their characteristics. The characterization of these fields by means of its intensity is difficult due to the random fluctuations in space and time of partially coherent fields, but it is demonstrated that the cross{correlation function provides information of the composition, spatial coherence structure and singularities of the non{canonical vortex beams. Our approach is based on experimental measurements and numerical simulations of these beams, which show excellent agreement.
