Abstract :
Some invariant properties of partially polarized electromagnetic waves are studied geometrically. Transformations of the complex degree of correlation and the degree of polarization are studied in the Poincaré and Cayley-Klein models of three-dimensional non-Euclidean hyperbolic space by means of simple geometric constructions which lucidly show the relationships between these quantities.
