A Note on Representation of Electromagnetic Plane Wave Polarization State

Representations are studied for both natural and intuitive grasp of electromagnetic plane wave polarization states. The representations have been established, but unfortunately, the detailed definitions have variations depending on the references. These circumstances could cause unnecessary confusion. In order to resolve the confusion, representations are presented taking correspondence into consideration with both natural and intuitive grasp of polarization states. The presented representations are confirmed to be consistent with those in the references.
