Extension of coherence holography to vectorial regime is investigated. A technique for controlling and synthesizing optical fields with desired elements of coherence-polarization matrix is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The technique uses two separate coherence holograms, each of which is assigned to one of the orthogonal polarization components of the vectorial fields.
