Simple wave solutions for the Maxwell equations in bianisotropic, nonlinear media, with application to oblique incidence
Author
Summary, in English
Using simple waves and six-vector formalism, the propagation of electromagnetic
waves in nonlinear, bianisotropic, nondispersive, homogeneous media is
analyzed. The Maxwell equations are formulated as an eigenvalue problem,
whose solutions are equivalent to the characteristic directions of the wave
front. Oblique incidence of plane waves in vacuum on a half space of nonlinear
material is solved, giving reflection and transmission operators for all
angles of incidence and all polarizations of the incident field. A condition on
Brewster angles is derived.
