Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We investigate the implications of the singular-value decomposition of the cross-spectral density (CSD) matrix to the description of electromagnetic spectral spatial coherence of stationary light beams. We show that in a transverse plane any CSD matrix can be expressed as a mixture of two CSD matrices corresponding to beams which are fully polarized but in general spatially partially coherent. The polarization and coherence structures of these constituent beams are specified, respectively, by the singular vectors and singular values of the full CSD matrix. It follows that vector-beam coherence, including the coherence Stokes parameters and the degree of coherence, can be formulated in terms of only two correlation functions. We further establish two-point analogs of the spectral and characteristic decompositions of the polarization matrix and show that in the case of a Hermitian CSD matrix their composition is specified by the so-called degree of cross-polarization.
