Abstract

An analysis is made of the transformation of a plane monochromatic electromagnetic wave in response to a temporal change in the permittivity and conductivity of a semibounded medium. The change in the parameters of the medium takes the form of a rectangular pulse of arbitrary duration and amplitude. The detailed structure of the electric field and its evolutional redistribution are determined. The asymptotic formation of a backward wave is demonstrated, whose amplitude may exceed that of the primary wave for parameters typical of a semiconductor.
