S-Polarization

The linear polarization state which is perpendicular to the plane of incidence.  The plane of incidence is normal to the surface or interface upon which light is incident.  If the light is incident upon the interface at an angle, the light will be oscillating in such a way as to appear to be “skipping” across the surface.
