TLDR
In this paper, the authors describe the phenomenon of total internal reflection in terms of a reflection coefficient of unit magnitude, and show that not only can propagating plane waves be total internally reflected at the planar interface of two dissimilar, homogeneous, isotropic dielectric-magnetic mediums, but evanescent plane waves can also be.Abstract:
Describing the phenomenon of total internal reflection in terms of a reflection coefficient of unit magnitude, we found that not only can propagating plane waves be total internally reflected at the planar interface of two dissimilar, homogeneous, isotropic dielectric–magnetic mediums, but evanescent plane waves can also be. The refracting medium must be the optically denser of the two mediums for total internal reflection of an evanescent plane wave to occur.read more

Negative Refraction in a Uniaxial Absorbent Dielectric Material.
TL;DR: In this article, negative deflection by refraction of light from an isotropic dielectric medium to an anisotropic material is discussed. But it is not usually discussed in electromagnetics textbooks for undergraduate students.

Light extraction efficiency enhancement of top-emitting organic light-emitting diodes employing low-Q whispering gallery modes in spheres
TL;DR: In this paper, a hexagonal close-packed sphere array was designed on top of an organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) to enlarge the light-escape cone and reduce reflection at the interface.

Electromagnetic mode matching in a Wilson basis: optical fiber connections with a gap
TL;DR: In this paper , a general full-vectorial Wilson-basis discretized mode-matching method was proposed to evaluate the converged electromagnetic fields after all resonances in the possible gap cavity have settled.

Study on the Power Distribution of Non-symmetric Y Branch Waveguide Based on BPM
TL;DR: In this paper, a single-mode Y-branch plane waveguide was used as the research object for the simulated parameters of structure by the total internal reflection theory and the BPM based on Rsoft software.

The negative index of refraction demystified
TL;DR: In this article, a general condition is derived for the phase velocity to be oppositely directed to the power flow, which extends the recently studied case of propagation in media for which the relative permittivity and relative permeability are simultaneously negative, to include dissipation as well.

Frustrated total reflection: the double-prism revisited.
TL;DR: Measurements of the Goos-Hänchen shift in frustrated total reflection with microwaves found an unexpected influence of the beamwidth and angle of incidence on the shift.
