    Abstract

    The theory developed in part I of this investigation [ 1] is applied to determine the changes in the spectrum, in the degree of polarization and in the degree of coherence of a random electromagnetic beam which passes through common devices of polarization optics, namely the polarizers, the compensators, the rotators and the absorbers. The general formulae are illustrated by examples.
