Vibration of optics is one of the major limiting factors of the performance of state-of-the-art beamlines at low-emittance synchrotron facilities. In this work, we present a theoretical model with experimental data describing vibration-induced effects on X-ray beam coherence. Owing to the Van Cittert-Zernike theorem, the coherence function of an X-ray beam perturbed by optics vibrations can be adequately characterized by modeling the spatial profile of the beam effective source. The measurements were carried out by using grating interferometry and a refractive lens with controlled vibration as a test optics. The experimental results confirm the model prediction and reveal the dependency of the measured beam spatial coherence on the acquisition time. The proposed method can be used to identify the eigenfrequency of the optical system as well as to optimize beamline operation and experimental conditions for coherence-related techniques.
