Mathematical description of linear polarization: -- x - basis included in the last equation
Line 47:
then the polarization state can written in the "x-y basis" as
 
:<math> |\psi\rangle = \cos\theta \exp \left ( i \alpha \right ) |x\rangle + \sin\theta \exp \left ( i \alpha \right ) |y\rangle = \psi_x |x\rangle + \psi_y |y\rangle </math>.
