The CD is the difference in extinction (absorption) coefficient, Ae, between the right- and left-handed polarized light ... 

When plane polarized light passes through an anisotropic medium, the refractive indices of the two beams which emerge, which are right-hand and left-hand polarized, respectively, are not the same. This causes a phase difference between the two component beams and the resultant beam is rotated in its plane of polarization as it emerges from die medium. 

Here r(p, L) refers to the rate of absorption w th beam 1 plane polarized and beam 2 left-handedly polarized, and so forth. The molecular parameters, appearing in Eqs. (9.17) and (9.19) are different for the two cases (cooperative and distributive), and their values for the particular process under study can be read off from Tables II and IV with the limiting short-range form of the interaction potential given by Eq. (8.1). Again we note the linear dependence on the group separation in Eqs. (9.17) and (9.19).

P vanishes for unpolarized light and is equal to unity for fully polarized light. For a partially polarized beam (0 < P < 1) with V 0, the sign of V indicates the preferential handedness of the vibration ellipses described by the endpoint of the electric vector. Specifically, a positive V indicates left-handed polarization and a negative V indicates right-handed polarization. By analogy... 

In practice, the quality of polarization of an antenna is described by the axial ratio (AR), which provides the same information as the absolute value of the eccentricity r. The sign of z represents the sense of rotation if t > 0 we have a right-hand polarized (RHP) wave, while if t < 0 the sense is left-hand polarized (LHP). The axial ratio is defined for circular polarization and for linear polarization. 

Rg. Due to the altitude dependence of the diffusion coefficient (2), namely that it increases with altitude, most of the ion acceleration occurs near the observation point. Thus this calculation should be insensitive to the initial conditions chosen for the oxygen ions. Guided by the previous mean particle calculations, the spectral density of left-hand polarized waves was chosen to be one-eighth of the actual measured wave intensity. As ions passed the observation point at... 

The resonant or cyclotron frequency is detected by absorption of power from the micro-wave beam which becomes a maximum when effective electron mass can then be determined from m = eB z/ c- The effective mass of holes can be found in a similar manner using left-hand polarized microwave radiation. 

Using the results from Figure 4.4b, we can replot Figure 4.4a by distinguishing the polarization handedness associated with various modes. The result is shown in Figure 4.5, with the dashed line corresponding to left-handed polarization (p < 0) and the solid line for right-handed polarization (p > 0).

Note that if b + a) and b - a) take the same sign, Ey is 7i/2 in advance of E resulting to left-handed polarization, whereas if b + a) and b — a) take opposite signs, right-handed polarization occurs. Now let us calculate b — a)l b + a) for different branches indicated in Figure 4.6.
