Abstract

Stokes parameters are derived for an interference pattern when superimpose light beams that propagate at a small angle with respect to each other. Our calculations allow us to separate the information about the intensity, the absolute phase and the polarization by means of correlation functions, a correlation function for intensity, one for the absolute phase and four for the polarization (one for each Stokes parameter).
