How to set up a circularly polarized light source

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I'm going to set up a circularly polarized light source in the 2-d model. Now I'm using the boundary condition of the port, but I don't know how to set it.So I hope to get your help

I understand circular polarization in 3D, but I'm not sure what it would mean physically in a 2D model. I suggest that you post a picture of your geometry, perhaps with a label and arrow showing the surface on which you would like to specify a circularly-polarized light source, and perhaps also show which direction you would like that source to radiate, if it isn't obvious from the geometry.
