18. In the literature, the terms of ellipticity and ellipticity angle sometimes are used without clear distinction. The ellipticity is not only usually defined as tan|χ| but has also been extended to tan(χ) to include the handedness of an ellipse. We prefer the term of ellipticity angle to denote the auxiliary angle χ.
