  2. Polarization (waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_(waves)

    The output of an ideal polarizer is a specific polarization state (usually linear polarization) with an amplitude equal to the input wave's original amplitude in that polarization mode. Power in the other polarization mode is eliminated.

  3. Fresnel equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_equations

    The s polarization refers to polarization of a wave's electric field normal to the plane of incidence ... r is the position vector, ω is the angular frequency, ...

  4. Circular polarization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_polarization

    "To achieve circular polarization [in axial or end-fire mode] ... the circumference C of the helix must be ... with C/wavelength = 1 near optimum, and the spacing about S = wavelength/4," p.571; or patch elements: "... circular and elliptical polarizations can be obtained using various feed arrangements or slight modifications made to the ...

  5. Surface plasmon polariton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_plasmon_polariton

    At this frequency, the silver behaves approximately as a perfect electric conductor, and the SPP is called a Sommerfeld–Zenneck wave, with almost the same wavelength as the free-space wavelength. The permittivity of silver at this frequency is (−2700 + 1400i). The picture is 6 μm across horizontally.

  6. Transverse wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_wave

    Mathematically, the simplest kind of transverse wave is a plane linearly polarized sinusoidal one. "Plane" here means that the direction of propagation is unchanging and the same over the whole medium; "linearly polarized" means that the direction of displacement too is unchanging and the same over the whole medium; and the magnitude of the displacement is a sinusoidal function only of time ...

  7. Surface plasmon resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_plasmon_resonance

    S-polarized light (polarization occurs perpendicular to the plane of incidence) ... is angular frequency and is the speed of light in vacuum. [7] ...

  8. Polarizability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarizability

    Polarizability is responsible for a material's dielectric constant and, at high (optical) frequencies, its refractive index. The polarizability of an atom or molecule is defined as the ratio of its induced dipole moment to the local electric field; in a crystalline solid, one considers the dipole moment per unit cell. [1]

  9. Stokes parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_parameters

    The Stokes I, Q, U and V parameters. The Stokes parameters are a set of values that describe the polarization state of electromagnetic radiation.They were defined by George Gabriel Stokes in 1851, [1] [2] as a mathematically convenient alternative to the more common description of incoherent or partially polarized radiation in terms of its total intensity (I), (fractional) degree of ...
