V. U. Nazarov, Y. -C. Chang

摘要:

我们解决了现有的争议有关的符号的选择正常的界面分量的波矢量$k_z$的电磁波在一个积极的(增益)介质。我们的方法利用的事实,即不存在歧义的情况下,{ \em膜}的活性介质,因为它的反射系数是不变的下反转的符号$k_z$。然后,我们表明,无限膜厚度的限制决定了一个独特的和物理上一致的波矢和折射率的选择。确定和讨论了该理论的实际重要意义。

英文摘要:

We resolve the existing controversy concerning the selection of the sign of the normal-to-the-interface component of the wave-vector $k_z$ of an electromagnetic wave in an active (gain) medium. Our method exploits the fact that no ambiguity exists in the case of a {\em film} of the active medium since its coefficient of reflectance is invariant under the inversion of the sign of $k_z$. Then we show that the limit of the infinite film thickness determines a unique and physically consistent choice of the wave-vector and the refractive index. Practically important implications of the theory are identified and discussed.
