Fig. 3.1.18. Refraction at an interface, represented in the plane of incidence: (a) Es-case, (b) Ep-case. The commonly used convention is shown for the orientation of the relevant vectors (k: the wave number
vector, E: the electrical field, and H: the magnetic field) ensuring that k, E, and H are a right-handed system in every case. The E-field is important for the action on a nonmagnetic material.
Polarization:
–E perpendicular to the plane of incidence: s-polarization (TE-case or σ-case [88Kle]), the corresponding E-component is called E [99Bor] or Es (s: “senkrecht” (German) which means “perpendicular”) [88Yeh] or index E [97Hua] or index x [90Roe, 77Azz, 91Sal].
–E parallel to the plane of incidence: p-polarization (TM-case or π-case [88Kle]), the corresponding E-component is called E [99Bor] or Ep [88Yeh] or index M [97Hua] or index y [90Roe, 77Azz, 91Sal].
Snell’s law :
nˆ sin Θ = nˆ sin Θ |
(3.1.72) |
with
nˆ, nˆ : refractive indices of both media, respectively, Θ, Θ : see Fig. 3.1.18.
Other convention than Fig. 3.1.18b [58Mac, 89Gha, 91Ish] (electrical engineering) on the orientation of the E-vectors: E and E point into the same direction for Θ → 0, H changes sign; application: E- interferences.
