Abstract

We suggest an effective expression of transmission coefficients between uniaxial anisotropic media. To study the transmission of oblique incident light by stratified anisotropic planar structures, we included an imaginary isotropic layer sandwiched between those anisotropic media, and then considered multiple reflection within the imaginary layer. The adequacy of this expression is confirmed by comparing the polarization analysis of light passing through the anisotropic medium and the multi.layered anisotropic media.

단축 이방성 매질에서 다른 단축 이방성 매질로 진행하는 빛의 유효투과계수 표현을 유도하였다. 두 이방성 매질 사이에 가상의 등방성 매질을 도입한 후, 가상의 등방성 매질 내의 다중반사 효과를 반영함으로써 두 단축 이방성 매질간의 경계면에서 유효 투과계수 표현을 제시하였다. 균일하지 않은 단축 이방성 매질을 얇고 균일한 단축 이방성 층들의 합으로 대치하여 각각의 두 경우에 대하여 투과하는 빛의 편광상태 변화를 계산한 후 비교함으로써 이 방법의 타당성을 확인하였다.
