Transformation of reflection and transmission matrices when changing the basis of two orthogonal polarizations

摘要

Waves propagating in a bianisotropic medium with absorption are generally polarized along orthogonal ellipses, special cases are waves of s- and p-polarizations, as well as waves of two circular polarizations. The report presents the transformation of the reflection and transmission matrices when the basis waves change: from a basis of s- and ppolarizations to a basis of right and left circular polarization and to a basis of two orthogonal elliptic polarizations.
