Transformation of spatial fluctuations of the field of a completely nonpolarized light wave at the initial stage of beam collapse has been studied and the critical self-focusing power has been computed. It is shown that as radiation propagates in an isotropic medium, the degree of polarization increases, while the spatial coherence decreases.
