Description

This lecture covers the temporal evolution of the electric field of a monochromatic plane wave with elliptical polarization, showcasing the most general case and the superposition of circular polarizations. The aspect ratio of the ellipse is determined by the difference in moduli of the circular components, with rectilinear polarization occurring when the moduli are equal.
