where k is the wavenumber and positive z is the direction of propagation.
As noted above, the physical electric vector is the real part of the Jones vector.
When electromagnetic waves interact with matter, their propagation is altered.
If this depends on the polarization states of the waves, then their polarization may also be altered.
