The Gaussian-Schell (G-S) pulse model describes variations in Gaussian shaped light pulses. Recent studies proposed random functions fitted to G-S pulses in a non-stationary context. More specifically, this paper provides a cyclo-stationary model. The associated power spectrum is derived. A correlation between pulses is shown to remove the power spectrum Gaussian character.
