Scientific paper

The properties of cyclotron radiation originating from homogeneous arc-shaped emission regions are discussed, taking into account the effects of field spread across the shock. It is found that arc-shaped cyclotron emission regions give rise to asymmetric light and polarization curves which are in closer agreement with observations of some AM Herculis systems than previous point-source and cylindrically extended models.
