Wave Phenomena at an Interface (I) • Homogeneous media • Angular dependence • Spectral dependence (dispersion): the prism effect Refracted (Transmitted) Reflected Incident Medium 1 Medium 2
Wave Phenomena at an Interface (II) • Inhomogeneous media: lots of scattered wavelets • Transmission (forward-scattering) and reflection (back-scattering) in many directions Reflected Transmitted Incident Medium 1 Medium 2
Wave Phenomena at an Interface (III) • Periodic media • Angular and spectral dependence (dispersion) • Diffraction: (guiding and bandgap) Diffracted- Diffracted- Diffracted+ NO Diffracted+ Guiding Bandgap
