4 Wave Propagation across the Interface of Two Homogeneous Media
In this chapter we continue our mathematical treatment of the propagation of electromagnetic waves through linear optical media begun in Chapter 2, where there are no boundary conditions for the volume, nOr cliffractive Or spatially limiting elements within the. volume. The major difference between the mathematical models presented In this chapter and those of Chapter 2 is that we now allow the volume through which the light is propagating to be composed of more than one linear optical medium. However, we do have the following restrictions on the interface between the two different optical media:
- the shape of the interface between the media is that of a plane, and
- there are no ...
