Propagating and evanescent waves associated with inhibited reflection in uniaxial crystals: extraordinary incidence

摘要

When an extraordinary wave under inhibited reflection conditions is incident on an interface between a uniaxial crystal and an isotropic medium, the reflected extraordinary wave is evanescent and the polarization of the refracted wave changes from linear to elliptical. In the present paper it is shown that the refracted ray undergoes a shift which is not only longitudinal (as the Goos-H?nchen effect in total reflection in isotropic interfaces) but also transversal. The structure of the evanescent reflected wave is studied and the polarization of the transmitted wave is analysed.
