 The polarization tab defines the type of incident X-ray and is an experimental parameter.
-It is defined as common as possible as two complex numbers defining the real part and imagninary part (amplitude and phase) of the sigma-part  and pi-part of the light. (Look in "terms and definition" for an exact definition)
+It is defined as common as possible as two complex numbers defining the real part and imaginary part (amplitude and phase as complex number) of the electric field in sigma and pi direction of the light. (Look in "terms and definition" for an exact definition)
 The most common polarizations can are predefined and can be set directly. The "Norm" Button sets the amplitude of the complex numbers to 1.
 For the dichroic calculations the other polarization can set as well.
