A vector partially coherent source (VPCS) generator includes a laser that emits coherent light; an interferometer consisting of polarizing beam splitters (PBSs) to split the laser light into its vertical and horizontal polarization components;] first and second spatial light modulators (SLMs) that respectively control the vertical and horizontal polarization components; and a control system communicatively coupled to the first and second SLMs to adjust beam shape and coherence without physically moving or removing optical elements in the interferometer.
