spin angular momentum

An electromagnetic wave is said to have circular polarization when its electric and magnetic fields rotate continuously around the beam axis during the propagation. The circular polarization is left (L) or right (R) depending on the field rotation direction (but be careful that both conventions are used in science, depending on the subfield).
