PHYS201 | Polarization States 6 - Elliptical Polarization

Not all light is linear or circular. Any phase difference is possible and leads to elliptically polarization.

Question: are the photons in polarized light aligned in phase simular to stimulated emission or simply random in phase to one anotber?

[poporbit]

Question: is elliptical polarization the product of multiple photons filtered in time to select the appropriate phase ?

Thanks for your informative talk. I have question, if in an elliptical polarization the phase difference between Ex and Ey is delta_phi, can we say that the phase difference between Hx and Hy is delta_phi? and why?
