I understand. What I'm actually thinking about is that in the Zeeman effect, both sigma and pi photons are emitted, and their polarization is orthogonal. I have understood that the sigma photons have m=+-1 and pi photons have m=0. I'm wondering how this is connected to the polarization of the...

Is the spin of a photon pointing in the same direction as the magnetic field of the photon?
