left-hand polarization [′left ¦hand ‚pō·lə·rə′zā·shən]

(electromagnetism)

In elementary-particle discussions, circular or elliptical polarization of an electromagnetic wave in which the electric field vector at a fixed point in space rotates in the left-hand sense about the direction of propagation; in optics, the opposite convention is used; in facing the source of the beam, the electric vector is observed to rotate counterclockwise.
