Abstract
A model of multivariate Gaussian statistics has been applied to study
the higher-order statistics of the polarization speckle at two spatial
or temporal points. Based on the Gaussian assumption for the random
electric field, the joint probability density functions of the Stokes
parameters and the parameters characterizing the polarization ellipse
for the produced random polarization fields at two points are
obtained. Subsequently, the corresponding statistics of an isotropic
polarization speckle at two points have been investigated to obtain
the joint and conditional probability densities of these random
variables.
