Propogation of an Electromagnetic Beam at the Interface of Isotropic Medium and Gyroelectric Medium

摘要

A detailed study on the reflection and transmission characteristics of an electromagnetic beam propogating a.t the interface of an isotropic medium and a gyroelectric medium in Voigt configuration is presented, for both TM and TE waves. We derived the reflection coefficient and transmission coefficient, respectively. Using the stationary phase approach, analytic expressions for lateral displacements of the reflected and transmitted waves from a gyroelectric medium are obtained, and we also give examples for both cases. It is found that the lateral displacements for TM and TE waves have different characteristics. Only the TM mode is affected by the gyrotropy.
