Polarization angles for normal transmission and reflection

Exercise 1.1

Polarization angles for normal transmission and reflection ([1] pr 9.14)

For normal incidence, without assuming that the reflected and transmitted waves have the same polarization as the incident wave, prove that this must be so. Answer for Exercise 1.1 Working with coordinates as illustrated in fig. 1.1, the incident wave can be assumed to have the form

Figure 1.1: Normal incidence coordinates E˜ I = EI ei(kz−ωt) xˆ 1 1 B˜ I = zˆ × E˜ I = EI ei(kz−ωt) y. ˆ v v Assuming a polarization nˆ = cos θ xˆ + sin θ yˆ for the reflected wave, we have E˜ R = ER ei(−kz−ωt) (ˆx cos θ + yˆ sin θ)

(1.2a)

˜ R = 1 (−zˆ ) × E˜ R = 1 ER ei(−kz−ωt) (ˆx sin θ − yˆ cos θ). B (1.2b) v v And finally assuming a polarization nˆ = cos φxˆ + sin φyˆ for the transmitted wave, we have 0 E˜ T = ET ei(k z−ωt) (ˆx cos φ + yˆ sin φ)

(1.3a)

0 1 1 B˜ T = zˆ × E˜ T = 0 ET ei(k z−ωt) (−xˆ sin φ + yˆ cos φ). (1.3b) v v With no components of any of the E˜ or B˜ waves in the zˆ directions the boundary value conditions at z = 0 require the equality of the xˆ and yˆ components of

 ˜T = E x,y x,y      1 ˜ 1 ˜ ˜ BT . = BI + BR µ µ0 x,y x,y E˜ I + E˜ R



(1.4a) (1.4b)

With β = µv/µ0 v0 , those components are EI + ER cos θ = ET cos φ

(1.5a)

ER sin θ = ET sin φ

(1.5b)

ER sin θ = − βET sin φ

(1.5c)

EI − ER cos θ = βET cos φ

(1.5d)

Equality of eq. (1.5b), and eq. (1.5c) require

− βET sin φ = ET sin φ,

(1.6)

or (θ, φ) ∈ {(0, 0), (0, π), (π, 0), (π, π)}. It turns out that all of these solutions correspond to the same physical waves. Let’s look at each in turn 1. (θ, φ) = (0, 0). The system eq. (1.5) is reduced to EI + ER = ET EI − ER = βET ,

(1.7)

with solution ET 2 = EI 1+β ER 1 − β = . EI 1+β

(1.8)

2. (θ, φ) = (π, π). The system eq. (1.5) is reduced to EI − ER = − ET EI + ER = − βET ,

(1.9)

with solution ET 2 =− EI 1+β ER 1−β =− . EI 1+β

(1.10)

Effectively the sign for the magnitude of the transmitted and reflected phasors is toggled, but the polarization vectors are also negated, with nˆ = −xˆ , and nˆ 0 = −xˆ . The resulting E˜ R and E˜ T are unchanged relative to those of the (0, 0) solution above. 3. (θ, φ) = (0, π). The system eq. (1.5) is reduced to EI + ER = − ET EI − ER = − βET ,

(1.11)

with solution ET 2 =− EI 1+β ER 1 − β = . EI 1+β

(1.12)

Effectively the sign for the magnitude of the transmitted phasor is toggled. The polarization vectors in this case are nˆ = xˆ , and nˆ 0 = −xˆ , so the transmitted phasor magnitude change of sign does not change E˜ T relative to that of the (0, 0) solution above. 4. (θ, φ) = (π, 0). The system eq. (1.5) is reduced to EI − ER = ET EI + ER = βET ,

(1.13)

with solution ET 2 = EI 1+β ER 1−β =− . EI 1+β

(1.14)

This time, the sign for the magnitude of the reflected phasor is toggled. The polarization vectors in this case are nˆ = −xˆ , and nˆ 0 = xˆ . In this final variation the reflected phasor magnitude change of sign does not change E˜ R relative to that of the (0, 0) solution. We see that there is only one solution for the polarization angle of the transmitted and reflected waves relative to the incident wave. Although we fixed the incident polarization with E along xˆ , the polarization of the incident wave is maintained regardless of TE or TM labeling in this example, since our system is symmetric with respect to rotation.
