Description: Code computes angles of polarization ellipse of EM plane wave traveling in +z direction.
Input Variables:
ax: |   Amplitude of x-component of E-field (arbitrary unit) |
ay: |   Amplitude of y-component of E-field (arbitrary unit) |
δ: |   Phase of y-component relative to phase of x-component (ɸx-ɸy), (degrees) |
Output Products:
ψ: |   Rotation angle of polarization ellipse (degrees) |
χ: |   Ellipticity angle of polarization ellipse (degrees) |
Plot of polarization ellipse in x-y plane, with ˆzout of the page.
