Cyclostationary statistical optics

Pulsed, optical fields are treated theoretically within the framework of cyclostationary random processes. Propagation-induced effects for stochastic, pulsed fields that are either beam-like or plane waves are examined in the context of interferometric and spectroscopic measurements. Propagation of fields from more general sources is considered in relation to the spectral or polarimetric properties observed. A new scheme for measuring cyclostationary effects is proposed.
