The spatio-temporal correlation properties of a pseudo-thermal light source with nano- and microsecond time resolution are studied on the basis of algorithms that take into account the features of a high-speed time-resolving matrix of single-photon detectors. It is shown that the change in the degree of second-order coherence of radiation scattered on a rotating disk with irregularities of different scales can be represented using a nonlinear hyperbolic mapping. The change in coherence during the transition of the generated photon flux from coherent to pseudothermal is studied based on the presented method.
