Abstract
A unified theory of noninterferometric phase recovery based on the so-called ambiguity function is introduced. The theory is used to analyze previously published techniques and unify them with the methods of phase-space tomography applicable to partially coherent data. The theory is then used to propose some new approaches to noninterferometric phase recovery.
