can anyone point me in the right direction to somewhere i can find out about sigma polarisation.
i want to know how it is defined.
thanks

Sigma polarisation is a type of polarisation of light that occurs when the electric field vector is perpendicular to the plane of incidence, which is the plane that contains the incident and reflected rays of light.
Sigma polarisation is defined as having an electric field vector that is perpendicular to the plane of incidence, with the reflected and transmitted rays having equal amplitudes and no phase difference.
The main difference between sigma polarisation and pi polarisation is the orientation of the electric field vector. In sigma polarisation, the electric field vector is perpendicular to the plane of incidence, while in pi polarisation, it is parallel to the plane of incidence.
Sigma polarisation is commonly used in technologies such as LCD displays and polarising filters, as well as in research for studying the properties of materials and surfaces.
Sigma polarisation can be manipulated through the use of polarisers, which are materials that selectively transmit or reflect light with a specific polarisation. By adjusting the orientation of the polariser, the intensity of sigma polarised light can be controlled.
