these waves do not exhibit polarization. Transverse waves that exhibit polarization include electromagnetic waves such as light and radio waves, gravitational...

electrodynamics, circular polarization of an electromagnetic wave is a polarization state in which, at each point, the electromagnetic field of the wave has a constant...

An elliptically polarized wave may be resolved into two linearly polarized waves in phase quadrature, with their polarization planes at right angles to...

directions of polarization, and express any wave linearly polarized in any other direction as a linear combination (mixing) of those two waves. By combining...

optical filter that lets light waves of a specific polarization pass through while blocking light waves of other polarizations. It can filter a beam of light...

terms of polarization, understanding light as a wave with field components in transverse polarization (perpendicular to the direction of the wave vector)...

gravitational waves and any field theory that couples its constituents with the differential operators of vector analysis. Photon polarization Spin angular...

Photon polarization is the quantum mechanical description of the classical polarized sinusoidal plane electromagnetic wave. An individual photon can be...

the polarization state of a light wave travelling through it. Two common types of waveplates are the half-wave plate, which rotates the polarization direction...

of polarization and phase of a single monochromatic wave, representing a pure state of polarization as described above. However any mixture of waves of...
