Complex reflection coefficients for the parallel and perpendicular polarizations of a film-substate system.

چکیده
The complex reflection coefficients Rv(phi,zeta) of a film-substrate system for the parallel (v = p) and perpendicular (v = s) polarizations are examined in detail as functions of the angle of incidence phi(0 </+S 90 degrees) and the reduced normalized film thickness zeta(0 </= zeta </= 1). For definiteness, the reflection of light of wavelength lambda = 0.6328 microm by the air-SiO2-Si system is assumed. Families of circles that represent the constant-angle-of incidence contours, their envelopes, and the associated constant-thickness contours of Rv, and Rs are all presented in the complex plane. Furthermore, the amplitude-reflectance and phase-shift functions, Rv (phi, zeta) and argRv(phi, zeta), are plotted vs zeta with phi constant and vs phi with zeta constant. It is shown that Rp or Rs can assume the same complex value at two different angles of incidence (i.e., the film-substrate system can have identical reflection characteristics for a given polarization at two angles) for certain ranges of film thickness. The distinct case of internal reflection is represented by a separate example.

Reflection of Waves in a Rotating Transversely Isotropic Thermoelastic Half-space Under Initial Stress
The present paper concerns with the effect of initial stress on the propagation of plane waves in a rotating transversely isotropic medium in the context of thermoelasticity theory of GN theory of type-II and III. After solving the governing equations, three waves propagating in the medium are obtained. The fastest among them is a quasi-longitudinal wave. The slowest of them is a thermal wave. ...

In the present paper, the problem of light reflection from a birefringent medium and thin film is considered. First, the analytical equations governing the propagation of a plane and harmonic electromagnetic wave in an infinite, birefringent, linear, non-dispersive, non-absorbing, and non-magnetic medium is derived from Maxwell equations. Then, using phase matching condition and boundary condit...

1 4 N ov 2 00 1 Constructing Fresnel reflection coefficients by ruler and compass
A simple and intuitive geometical method to analyze Fresnel formulas is presented. It applies to transparent media and is valid for perpendicular and parallel polarizations. The approach gives a graphical characterization particularly simple of the critical and Brewster angles. It also provides an interpretation of the relation between the reflection coefficients for both basic polarizations as...
