Polarization States

Polarization States is a theoretical construct that specifies the orientation and temporal evolution of the electric field vector of an electromagnetic wave, distinguishing it from other optical or antenna characteristics by fully describing the wave's polarization behavior in terms of linear, circular, or elliptical configurations.
