Elliptic polarization of the refracted wave in presence of inhibited reflection

In the present paper we show that when a linearly polarized wave is incident on an uniaxial crystal–isotropic medium interface, the refracted ray is elliptically polarized when the incidence angle is greater than the limiting one of inhibited reflection. We also calculate the eccentricity of the ell...

Sumario:In the present paper we show that when a linearly polarized wave is incident on an uniaxial crystal–isotropic medium interface, the refracted ray is elliptically polarized when the incidence angle is greater than the limiting one of inhibited reflection. We also calculate the eccentricity of the ellipse of polarization and the angle between its major axis with the incidence plane. © 1998 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
