GUSE-HANCHEN EFFECT FOR THE LIGHT REFLECTED FROM THE INTERFACE FORMEDBY BIGYROTROPIC AND NONGYROTROPIC MEDIA

The Guse-Hanchen effect for the light reflected from the interface for med by bigyrotropic and non-gyrotropic media is theoretically studied for the cases of longitudinal and polar magnetooptical configurations. The reflection matrices for normal electromagnetic waves are calculat ed, and the matrices of phase shifts and longitudinal displacements as functions of the tangential component of the reduced wave vector are determined. Numerical estimates of the magnitude of the effect in the near-IR region for the interface formed by a nonmagnetic gadolinium ga llium garnet and a bigyrotropic magnetic yttrium iron garnet are made.
