Vector Wave Beams. Changing Polarization of Electromagnetic Wave Beams on Reflection from a Dielectric Plate

We consider electromagnetic vector wave beams and a change in their polarization upon passage through a plane-parallel dielectric plate. A study is based on rigorous solutions of equations for an electromagnetic field.We find the structures of the transmitted and reflected fields. In the case of comparatively narrow beams (with a width of about one wavelength), we determine the reflection coefficients for both normal incidence and incidence at the Brewster angle. __________ Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Radiofizika,Vol. 48, No. 4, pp. 340–349, April 2005.     

Determination of the Phase Shift of a Plasma Wave Reflected from the Edge of a Small-Scale Irregularity

In our papers [1,2], a nonlinear theory has been developed for excitation of plasma-wave eigenmodes inside field-aligned small-radius inhomogeneities in experiments on ionospheric heating by powerful radio waves. This theory takes into account the striction effects of plasma expulsion near the plasma resonance level where a trapped wave is reflected from the edge of the irregularity. The results of this theory depend strongly on the phase of the linear (i.e., weak-field) reflection coefficient. In this paper, we calculate this parameter for irregularities of different shapes.     

Natural Electromagnetic Waves in a Circular Waveguide with a Chiral and a Dielectric Layer

Based on particular solutions of a system of wave equations which describe electromagnetic processes in an unbounded biisotropic medium and are represented in the form of generalized power series, a dispersion equation is obtained for a two-layer circular waveguide with a chiral and a dielectric layer. The solution of the dispersion equation is analyzed for some types of natural waves.     

Diffraction of a Plane Electromagnetic Wave by an Infinite Double-Ridge Wedge with a Dielectric Cylinder at the Crest

We reduce the considered problem to solving a matrix equation of the second kind for unknown coefficients of expansion of a diffracted field into a Fourier–Bessel series. This expansion was obtained by imposing boundary conditions on the diffracted field with the subsequent re-expansion of the field function over basis functions in a given interval. The expansion coefficients were determined analytically in the case where the electric diameter of the cylinder is less than unity as well as numerically with a high accuracy by solving the obtained matrix equation using the reduction method. We derived expressions for the pattern of the far-zone field scattered by the studied structure and the backscattering cross section and give exact numerical results for the case of an E-polarized incident wave.

First-Order Nonspecular Effects Induced by an External Electric Field at the Normal Incidence of a Quasiplane Wave on a Gyrotropic Dielectric Layer

For a ТМ or ТЕ quasiplane wave normally incident on a tangentially magnetized dielectric layer, the application of an external static electric field along the normal to the layer plane results in the appearance of the spatial and angular Goos–Hänchen effects for a beam transmitted through the layer, as well the angular Goos–Hänchen effect for a reflected highly directional wave beam.     

矢量光束界面反射透射的自旋霍耳效应

矢量光束的一般表示方法是利用投影矩阵和广义琼斯矢量的乘积描述.投影矩阵存在一个自由度,该自由度与有限光束的场矢量偏振状态有关,由特定的单位矢量与波矢量间的方位角决定,可以定量地描述矢量光束的偏振状态.本文在矢量光束描述的理论基础上,通过对投影矩阵进行与反射光束与透射光束传播方向相应的坐标旋转,根据麦克斯韦方程组及其边界条件,计算讨论在各向同性介质界面上反射、透射矢量光束的表示形式以及其自旋霍尔效应表现出的横向位移.线偏振光(光子自旋量为σ＝0)横向位移为零,圆偏振光束(光子自旋量为σ＝±1)位移量最大且左圆偏振与右圆偏振光束的位移大小相等方向相反,进一步分析了左圆偏振光束在界面上的反射、透射光束的横向位移与入射角的关系.     

Attenuation of Electromagnetic Waves by a Plasma Layer at Atmospheric Pressure

Plasma layers at atmospheric pressure, are good broad band absorbers of electromagnetic radiation. However, to get substantial attenuations, two parameters have to be optimized. These are the plasma number density, and the thickness of the plasma layer. It is found that in order to be an effective attenuator of microwave radiation, a plasma layer has to have a number density in the 10¹³ cm^–3 range, and a thickness equal or larger than the wavelength of the incident wave. However, as the frequency increases, the amount of attenuation tends to reach a limiting value directly proportional to the number density.

Longitudinal Current Induced by a Plane Electromagnetic Wave in a Single Atom

The change in the polarization state of the atomic response due to the appearence of the longitudinal component, which has been predicted in [A. Andreev, S. Stremoukhov, and O. Shoutova, Europhys. Lett. 120, 14003 (2017)], has been studied. The dependence of the vector properties of the atomic current induced in an atom with unit angular momentum in the ground state on the properties of a two-color laser field with orthogonally polarized components has been analyzed. It has been shown that the variation of the delay time between the frequency components of the laser field makes it possible to efficiently control the polarization of the components of the atomic response field. The effect of the mutual orientation of the electric component of the laser field and the angular momentum of the atom on the longitudinal component of the atomic current and on the polarization properties of the generated radiation has been demonstrated.
