Definition: polarization of a specific field vector of a particular mode within a set of degenerate modes in a waveguide

Note 1 to entry: The main application of the concept "degenerate mode polarization" is in relation to waveguides having circular or square cross-sections, where there are two independent modes of propagation. In these particular cases, the polarization of the mode may be taken as that of the electric field strength vector on an axis of symmetry of the waveguide.
