Polarization Fluctuations in Stationary Light Beams
Abstract
For fluctuating but statistically stationary beams of light the degree of polarization contains only limited information on time-dependent polarization. Two approaches towards assessing a beam’s polarization dynamics, one based on Poincaré and the other on Jones vector formalism, are described leading to the notion of 'polarization time'. Specific examples of partially temporally coherent electromagnetic beams are discussed.
