Displacement of the refracted wave in presence of inhibited reflection

A displacement of the transmitted wave for a uniaxial crystalisotropic medium interface is found, when the angle of incidence is larger than the limiting inhibited reflection angle. The phenomenon treated is a generalization of the well-known Goos—Hünchen effect [1] which is the longitudinal displac...

Sumario:A displacement of the transmitted wave for a uniaxial crystalisotropic medium interface is found, when the angle of incidence is larger than the limiting inhibited reflection angle. The phenomenon treated is a generalization of the well-known Goos—Hünchen effect [1] which is the longitudinal displacement of the reflected wave associated with total reflection in isotropic interfaces. Nevertheless, because of the crystal anisotropy, the displacement vector here has both a longitudinal and a transverse component even when the incident beam is linearly polarized. Expressions for these components are given and their meaning is analysed. © 2000 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
