Polarization fluctuations in stationary light beams.

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 leadi...
