Abstract
Features of energy flux formation inside and outside an absorbing layer are theoretically described for the case where two coherent counter-propagating waves of identical linear polarization are obliquely incident on the opposite sides of the layer with the adjacent media exhibiting symmetric optical parameters. Dependence of the interference fluxes on the angle of incidence and thickness of the layer is established for different phase shifts of the incident waves. Conditions under which the energy density inside the layer attains the maximum value are determined.
