28. Actually, for the rotation to be positive with respect to the direction of propagation of the field, the positive field direction of the mode with the associated annihilation operator â, the corresponding direction associated annihilation operator b̂, and the propagation direction must form a right-hand system.

31. Physically, the transformation Û(0,π,0) corresponds to a geometrical rotation about the z axis, the axis of propagation, by π/2. That is, the two linearly polarized modes are interchanged.
