Figure 6
Polarization of synchrotron radiation. Top: a bending magnet causes the electrons to travel along a trajectory (solid line), which is a portion of a circle (dashed line). Middle: seen from the horizontal plane, the circle looks like a straight line, corresponding to linear polarization. Bottom: from a point of view slightly off the horizontal plane, the circle looks like an ellipse, and corresponds to elliptical polarization.
