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...

        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.
        En haces estacionarios, el grado de polarización sólo contiene información limitada de la dependencia temporal de la polarización. Para evaluar los cambios dinámicos de la polarización del haz dos métodos son descritos, uno basado en el formalismo vectorial de Poincaré y el otro en el de Jones, conduciéndonos al concepto de 'tiempo de polarización'. Ejemplos específicos de haces electromagnéticos coherentes parcialmente temporales son analizados.
