Polarizations in a sentence

A combination of linear and circular birefringence will have as basis polarizations two orthogonal elliptical polarizations; the term "elliptical birefringence" however is rarely used.

Since there are separate reflection coefficients for the linear polarizations in and orthogonal to the plane of incidence (p and s polarizations, see below), that choice greatly simplifies the calculation of a wave's reflection from a surface.

The reflected components in the p and s linear polarizations are found by applying the Fresnel coefficients of reflection, which are generally different for those two linear polarizations.

Well known manifestations of linear birefringence (that is, in which the basis polarizations are orthogonal linear polarizations) appear in optical wave plates /retarders and many crystals.

Still, even though the election underscored Canada’s polarizations, Mr. Trudeau eked out a second term and a victory for his liberal agenda on issues like climate change and women’s and minority rights.

A beam of unpolarised light can be thought of as containing a uniform mixture of linear polarizations at all possible angles.

And incoherent states can be modeled stochastically as a weighted combination of such uncorrelated waves with some distribution of frequencies (its spectrum ), phases, and polarizations.

As a result of this definition, we can conclude that the total gain of an antenna is the sum of partial gains for any two orthogonal polarizations.

Because the rotation is not instantaneous, dipolar polarizations lose the response to electric fields at the highest frequencies.

First, the entangled states are perfectly correlated in the sense that if Alice and Bob both measure whether their particles have vertical or horizontal polarizations, they always get the same answer with 100% probability.

For instance, choosing right and left circular polarizations as basis functions simplifies the solution of problems involving circular birefringence (optical activity) or circular dichroism.

For the right picture, filter was adjusted to eliminate certain polarizations of the scattered blue light from the sky.

However any mixture of waves of different polarizations (or even of different frequencies) do not correspond to a Jones vector.

If the signal and idler have the same polarization, it is called "Type-I phase-matching", and if their polarizations are perpendicular, it is called "Type-II phase-matching".

In DIC the illumination is split up into two beams that are given different polarizations, are phase shifted differently, and are shifted transversely with slightly different amounts.

In this case the propagation of light cannot simply be described by refractive indices except for polarizations along principal axes.

It involves a complete additional rotation only over a travel of many millimeters to meters; in one millimeter alone there are already thousands of complete wavelengths which the two circular polarizations have in common.

Part of the wave is transmitted and part is reflected; for a given material those proportions (and also the phase of reflection) are dependent on the angle of incidence and are different for the s and p polarizations.

Radiation is produced independently by a large number of atoms or molecules whose emissions are uncorrelated and generally of random polarizations.

Suppose polarization axes x and y parallel with the fast and slow axis of the wave plate: The polarization of the incoming photon (or beam) can be resolved as two polarizations on the x and y axis.
