theta_lsympy_like

The angle $\theta_\mathrm{L}$ between the electric field of the linearly polarized incoming photon and the direction of detection.

scatter_polstr

The label for the two orthogonal polarizations of the scattered light. Can be either 'x' or anything else.

as_sympybool

Return the result as a symbol (True) or as a float (False).
