phase polarization
1Polarization — ( Brit. polarisation) is a property of waves that describes the orientation of their oscillations. For transverse waves, it describes the orientation of the oscillations in the plane perpendicular to the wave s direction of travel. Longitudinal… …
2Phase (waves) — Phase in waves is the fraction of a wave cycle which has elapsed relative to an arbitrary point.[1] Contents 1 Formula 2 Phase shift 3 Phase difference …
3Phase-shift keying — Passband modulation v · d · e Analog modulation AM · …
4Phase problem — The phase problem is the name given to the problem of loss of information (the phase) from a physical measurement. The name itself comes from the field of x ray crystallography, where the phase problem has to be solved for the determination of a… …
5Circular polarization — The electric field vectors of a traveling circularly polarized electromagnetic wave. In electrodynamics, circular polarization[1] of an electromagnetic wave is a polarization in which the electric field of the passing wave does not change… …
6Photon polarization — is the quantum mechanical description of the classical polarized sinusoidal plane electromagnetic wave. Individual photons are completely polarized. Their polarization state can be linear or circular, or it can be elliptical, which is anywhere in …
7Geometric phase — In mechanics (including classical mechanics as well as quantum mechanics), the Geometric phase, or the Pancharatnam Berry phase (named after S. Pancharatnam and Sir Michael Berry), also known as the Pancharatnam phase or Berry phase, is a phase… …
8Quasi-phase-matching — is a technique in nonlinear optics which allows a positive net flow of energy from the pump frequency to the signal and idler frequencies by creating a periodic structure in the nonlinear medium. Momentum is conserved, as is necessary for phase… …
9Ionic polarization — In chemistry, ionic polarization is polarization which is caused by relative displacements between positive and negative ions in ionic crystals (for example, NaCl).If crystals or molecules do not consist of only atoms of the same kind, the… …
10Linear polarization — In electrodynamics, linear polarization or plane polarization of electromagnetic radiation is a confinement of the electric field vector or magnetic field vector to a given plane along the direction of propagation. See polarization for more… …
