Measurement of intensity and polarization beatings in the interference of independent optical fields

We experimentally study the intensity and polarization beatings of interfering independent optical fields. Using the tools of intensity interferometry, we measure the beating harmonicity time and the degree of randomness of the polarization beating for several combinations of light fields with Poiss...
