Vector Wave Beams. Changing Polarization of Electromagnetic Wave Beams on Reflection from a Dielectric Plate

  • Published:
Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

We consider electromagnetic vector wave beams and a change in their polarization upon passage through a plane-parallel dielectric plate. A study is based on rigorous solutions of equations for an electromagnetic field.We find the structures of the transmitted and reflected fields. In the case of comparatively narrow beams (with a width of about one wavelength), we determine the reflection coefficients for both normal incidence and incidence at the Brewster angle.
