Singular value representation of the coherence Poincaré sphere
Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications, 2022 The so-called coherence Poincaré sphere was recently introduced for geometrical visualization of the state of two-point spatial coherence of a random electromagnetic beam. The formalism and its interpretation strongly utilized a specific decomposition of
