Diffraction of waves by a perfect electromagnetic conductor half-plane between isorefractive media

Journal Article · · Optical and Quantum Electronics

In this study, diffraction of waves by a perfectly electromagnetic conductor half-plane which is lying at the boundary of isorefractive media is investigated. The diffracted field expressions are constructed by using the relation between scattered geometrical optics fields and the transition boundaries. The high frequency asymptotic expressions of diffracted fields reach infinite magnitude values at the transition boundaries. The uniform expressions of fields are obtained by using the uniform theory of diffraction method in order to obtain the finite magnitude values at the transition boundaries and the results are analyzed numerically for different set of parameters.
