The equation for evolution of the four-component Stokes vector in weakly anisotropic and smoothly inhomogeneous media is derived on the basis of a quasi-isotropic approximation of the geometrical optics method, which provides the consequent asymptotic solution of Maxwell's equations. Our equation generalizes previous results obtained for the normal propagation of electromagnetic waves in strati...

The present study deals with the plane waves moving in a solid medium qualifying for anisotropic, homogeneous, microstretch and elastic properties. Primarily, Christoffel equations have been derived propagation of (coupled longitudinal coupled transverse) medium. A system homogeneous has established to polarization particles wave motion, microrotation Condition solvability linear applied derive...
