Polarization — ( 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… … Wikipedia
Polarization density — In classical electromagnetism, the polarization density (or electric polarization, or simply polarization) is the vector field that expresses the density of permanent or induced electric dipole moments in a dielectric material. The polarization… … Wikipedia
Polarization of an algebraic form — In mathematics, in particular in algebra, polarization is a technique for expressing a homogeneous polynomial in a simpler fashion by adjoining more variables. Specifically, given a homogeneous polynomial, polarization produces a multilinear form … Wikipedia
Polarization-maintaining optical fiber — In fiber optics, polarization maintaining optical fiber (PMF or PM fiber) is optical fiber in which the polarization of linearly polarized light waves launched into the fiber is maintained during propagation, with little or no cross coupling of… … Wikipedia
