| Abstract: | Reflection and Refraction of Light in Uniaxial Media The formulae for the amplitude relations for the reflection and refraction of plane monochromatic light waves at a plane interface between an isotropic and an arbitrarily anisotropic medium, derived in an earlier paper by the author, are specialized here to the case of uniaxial media. The incidence both from the isotropic and from the uniaxial medium is dealt with. A series of special cases (normal incidence, optical axis parallel or normal to the plane of incidence, transition from uniaxial to isotropic media a.o.) are considered. |
