摘要：

We determine a general form of the cross-spectral density matrix and the spectral degree of coherence of the electric field of a fully spatially coherent electromagnetic beam. Our result implies that complete spatial coherence does not, in general, impose any conditions on the state of polarization of the beam. (C) 2003 Published by Elsevier B.V.
