Motivated by the recent demonstration of asymmetric transmission of light through stratified systems of various anisotropic metamaterials, we have established generalized reciprocal relations for both transmission and reflection for these systems referring to the two cases of incidence from opposite directions. These relations reduce to those derived previously for simple isotropic systems whic...

2014 We present measurements of the light transmission of homeotropic smectic C* samples (DOBAMBC) at normal incidence as a function of temperature for different thicknesses in the whole spectral region where selective reflection occurs. Assuming that the transmission dip is a result of Bragg reflection, we obtain the temperature dependence of the pitch. The calculations of the reflection and t...

The procedure for analysis of electromagnetic field in a cylindrical metallic cavity, based on reflection and transmission characteristic, is presented in the paper. An analysis of procedure efficiency to resonant modes identification is conducted numerically and experimentally verified. As a numerical tool, TLM time-domain method, enhanced with the compact wire model to account for the presenc...

This work presents experimental and analytical comparison of terahertz transmission and reflection imaging modes for assessing breast carcinoma in excised paraffin-embedded human breast tissue. Modeling for both transmission and reflection imaging is developed. The refractive index and absorption coefficient of the tissue samples are obtained. The reflection measurements taken at the system's f...

We describe a new modular method for the calculation of wave propagation in stratified media based on the direct use of reflection and transmission coefficients. Within this reflection from the left, transmission, and reflection from the right (LTR) method we define addition and multiplication operators that enable the theoretical construction of any multilayered structures from substructures. ...

In the present article, the reflection and transmission of plane waves at the boundary of thermally conducting micropolar elastic media with two temperatures is studied. The theory of thermoelasticity with and without energy dissipation is used to investigate the problem. The expressions for amplitudes ratios of reflected and transmitted waves at different angles of incident wave are obtained. ...

A scheme of combined reflection and transmission ellipsometry on light-transmitting ambient-film-substrate systems is proposed and the required sample design and instrument operation are investigated. A comparative study of the sensitivity of external and internal reflection and transmission ellipsometry is carried out based on unified linear approximations of the exact equations. These approxi...
