In the letter the polarization properties of quasi-homogenous (QH) beam propagating in Kolmogorov and non-Kolmogorov turbulence are studied. The results show that the polarization properties of QH beam undergoes three stages during the propagation in turbulence: in the “near field”, the degree of polarization (Dop) and the state of polarization (Sop) fluctuate with source parameters and transverse position; after that the beam come to the “middle field” where its properties are affected by source parameters and turbulence perturbation; in the final “far field”, the values come to constants which dependent only on source parameters.
