Complete method to determine transmission and reflection characteristics at a planar interface between arbitrarily oriented biaxial media
TLDR
In this paper, a complete, systematic methodology is provided for calculating all properties of the transmitted and reflected light waves, including phase-velocity indices of refraction, angles of reflection and reflection, polarization angles, walk-off angles, and Poynting-vector relative magnitudes.Abstract:
The general case of monochromatic plane-wave reflection and refraction at oblique incidence from a planar biaxial–biaxial interface is presented for arbitrary principal-axes orientation in each region. A complete, systematic methodology is provided for calculating all properties of the transmitted and reflected light waves. The singularities that arise when one or both regions are taken to be isotropic are addressed, to our knowledge for the first time. Example calculations are presented for all cases. Finally, the methodology yields all wave parameters, including phase-velocity indices of refraction, angles of refraction and reflection, polarization angles, walk-off angles, and Poynting-vector relative magnitudes. Some common applications of this theory include multilayer structure analysis and the determination of internal angles for second-harmonic generation.read more

Modelling IR-spectra of single-phase polycrystalline materials with random orientation—a unified approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combined two recently developed formalism, one for the modelling of spectra of randomly oriented polycrystalline bulk materials consisting exclusively of crystallites being small compared to the resolution limit [Appl. Opt. A: Pure Appl. Spectrosc. 56 (2002) 1194] and one for polycrystaline bulk material in the large crystalline limit, in order to enable the modeling of materials consisting of both optically small and large regions of order, and several model calculations are carried out to demonstrate the influence of different crystallite size distribution

Optics of anisotropic layered media: A new 4 × 4 matrix algebra
TL;DR: In this paper, a 4 × 4 matrix algebra is introduced to investigate plane-wave propagation in an arbitrarily anisotropic medium. But it is not a generalization of Abeles' 2 × 2 matrix method.
