A wave-beam shift on reflection from a plane screen in an isotropic chiral medium

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The paper considers reflections of a wave beam of circular polarization from a plane, perfectly conducting screen restricting an isotropic chiral-medium half-space. Lateral and transverse shifts of the reflected beam resulting from fulfilment of the total reflection condition are calculated using a modified energy method.
