Nonspecular reflection of left and right circularly polarized beams at chiral-achiral interfaces
The reflection of 2 D beams at the flat interface between a chiral and an achiral medium is studied. Left and right circularly polarized incident beams are considered. We extend to chiral media the aberrationless approach used to investigate nonspecular phenomena in achiral media. Expressions for th...

| Sumario: | The reflection of 2 D beams at the flat interface between a chiral and an achiral medium is studied. Left and right circularly polarized incident beams are considered. We extend to chiral media the aberrationless approach used to investigate nonspecular phenomena in achiral media. Expressions for the lateral shift, focal shift, angular shift and beam waist modification are given and compared with those predicted by the stationary phase approximation. |
