Demonstration of an elliptically polarized wave with a 45-degree tilt.
Imagine that you are being hit in the face by a uniform plane wave, and that you are tracking the tip of the electric field vector as it changes in time. The total electric field (red) consists of two orthogonal components (black), each with its own phase and amplitude. In this case, the amplitudes are equal, but are out of phase by 45-degrees, the result is an elliptically polarized wave as shown.
