Circularly and linearly polarized light in the total reflection region at isotropic medium-uniaxial crystal interfaces

We calculate the phases of the reflected light for the parallel and perpendicular modes under total reflection conditions at interfaces formed by an isotropic medium and a uniaxial crystal considering its principal planes. It is found that for incident light that is linearly polarized we can obtain...

description We calculate the phases of the reflected light for the parallel and perpendicular modes under total reflection conditions at interfaces formed by an isotropic medium and a uniaxial crystal considering its principal planes. It is found that for incident light that is linearly polarized we can obtain circularly polarized reflected light with only one reflection with lower refractive indices than those required for isotropic interfaces.
