Abstract
Then-th order correlation function for superimposed coherent and chaotic light is calculated in coherent state formalism. This function reduces to products and sums of the first-order correlations of coherent and chaotic fields alonge. It is demonstrated that superimposed fields cannot have full coherence farther then to the first order.
