Abstract

We show that complete coherence of light fluctuations at two points in a statistically stationary optical field implies that the fluctuations are either identical or are proportional to each other, a property which may be called statistical similarity. In particular for light to be completely coherent it need not be monochromatic nor do the fluctuations need to be deterministic.
