Abstract

In the studies of optical transmission characteristics of electromagnetic wave, TE/TM modes are often used to describe the polarization mode of electromagnetic wave. However, the definitions of TE/TM polarization are different in different transmission systems and are often mixed with s/p states, inducing some confusing concepts and contradictory results. Based on electromagnetic theory,we deeply derive and analyze the possible polarization modes in different transmission systems, explain the existent reasons and possible states of TE/TM polarization modes, compare the possible states with s/p states to illustrate the differences, and resolve the confusing polarization problems one by one. This work will sweep away the obstacles for future researches of electromagnetic fields.
