function DefaultPolState = zGetPolState()
% zGetPolState - Gets the default polarization state set by the user.
%
% Usage : DefaultPolState = zGetPolState
% The row vector returned is formatted as follows:
% nIsPolarized, Ex, Ey, Phax, Phay
% If nIsPolarized is anything other than zero, then the default polarization state is unpolarized. Otherwise, the
% Ex, Ey, Phax, and Phay values are used to define the polarization state. Ex and Ey should each be normalized
% to a magnitude of unity, although this is not required. Phax and Phay are in degrees.
