Isotropic medium-uniaxial crystal interfaces: Light polarization in total external reflection
The parameters that characterize the polarization state in total external reflection were derived using the explicit formulas for the reflection coefficients in an isotropic medium-uniaxial crystal interface. The reflected light was found to be always elliptically polarized for incidence angles grea...

The parameters that characterize the polarization state in total external reflection were derived using the explicit formulas for the reflection coefficients in an isotropic medium-uniaxial crystal interface. The reflected light was found to be always elliptically polarized for incidence angles greater than the smallest total reflection one and that its rotation direction does not change, although the direction of the longer axis changes with respect to the incidence plane. The value of the eccentricity of the polarization ellipse is up to 70% greater than in the isotropic case. For incidence angles lower than the smallest total reflection one, there are angles such that the reflected light is linearly polarized. |
