Abstract
Malus’ law, Fresnel–Arago interference laws and Stokes parameters are analyzed in the framework of the tensor theory of the electromagnetic spatial coherence wavelets. It is shown that these laws are suitable for each individual wavelet after regarding the correlation properties of the random electromagnetic field. Stokes parameters at the wavelet scale are introduced. They deal to generalized Stokes parameters which, in contrast to the classical ones, take into account the correlation properties of the random electromagnetic field on the aperture plane, that is the contributions of radiator pairs in surroundings of that plane.
