56. This and the following discussions are not applicable to the case of pure circularly polarized light, since the definition of the polarization rotation is not valid then.

69. We consistently use two definitions for the light ellipticity: the relative difference of the circular component intensities (q) and the phase delay between two linear components (ε). They are related to each other in the following way: q = sin 2ε.
