Abstract

The analytical expressions for the generalized (two-point) Stokes parameters of stochastic electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model pulsed (GSMP) beams propagating in free space are obtained. The changes in the spectral Stokes parameters in free space propagation are studied. The dependence of on-axis and transverse spectral Stokes parameters of stochastic electromagnetic GSMP beams on the pulse parameters including pulse duration and temporal coherence length is stressed and illustrated numerically. The results are interpreted physically.
