“…Several relevant contributions have been published in the recent years concerning aspects as the interpretation of physical quantities derived from the eigenvalues of the coherency matrix R [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]; geometric interpretation of 3D states [13][14][15][16][17][18][19]; coherent composition of pure (or totally polarized) states [20]; incoherent composition and decomposition of pure and mixed states [4,7,9,17,21]; 3D polarimetry [22,23]; statistical and coherence properties of 3D states [24][25][26][27][28], generalized Stokes parameters [16,1,9,13,29], etc.…”

“…For a time-harmonic or monochromatic light field of given angular frequency ω, to which this paper is confined, the locus of the tip of the electric vector at any point in space is in general elliptic [3,10]. Statistical or coherence properties of 3-D PSs of quasi-monochromatic light fields have been the subject of recent theoretical analysis [11,12].…”

“…it is not a beam, the elementary waves propagate in various random directions in the three-dimensional space. Such three-dimensional fields (like thermal fields) are described by the generalized coherence matrix and degree of polarization [6]- [8]. These fields exactly are assumed to be excitation sources for the surface waves in the current investigation.…”

“…It is sufficient for our purposes to consider light as a superposition of completely polarized light with the threedimensional complex vector u 1 and three-dimensionally unpolarized field proportional to the 3D identity tensor 1 (more general description is presented in Refs. [6]- [8]). Thus one introduces , ) (…”
