Reflection of an electromagnetic plane wave with 0 or π phase shift at the surface of an absorbing medium

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An electromagnetic plane wave incident obliquely from a transparent medium onto the surface of an absorbing medium can be reflected with 0 or π phase shift if (i) the wave is p (TM) polarized, and (ii) the complex relative dielectric function is such that 0||2/2Re()1. Furthermore, the locus of such that the reflection coefficient for the p polarization is real at the same angle of incidence, is a circle, and that of 1/2 (the complex relative refractive index) is Bernoulli’s lemniscate.
