0 and ?y=?, so that ?x ?y ? Then our Efields are ? The negative sign before ? indicates a lag in the yvibration, relative to xvibration ? ?? ?????????tiytixAeEAeE11 Circular polarization ? To see this lag (in action), take the real parts ? We can then write ? Remembering that ?=2?/T, the path travelled by the evector is easily derived ? Also, since E2=Ex2 + Ey2 = A2(cos2?t + sin2?t)= A2 ? The tip of the arrow traces out a circle of radius A. tAtAEtAEyx????s in2c o sc o s??????? ???12 Circular polarization ? The Jones vector for this case – where Ex leads Ey is ? The normalized form is, ? This vector represents circularly polarized light, where E rotates counterclockwise, viewed headon ? This mode is called leftcircularly polarized light ?
