Abstract

We investigate the light reflection from a nonlinear optical dielectric film on a bigyrotropic magneto-electric substrate magnetized parallel to the interface. The reflection matrix has been obtained and reflection coefficients are investigated with respect to the incidence angle for both polarizations of the incident light. We analyzed the optical nonlinearity and the magnetoelectric coupling contributions to the reflection of the electromagnetic waves and the appearance of so-called pseudo-Brewster angles.
