The nonlinear transmission and reflection of electromagnetic waves of different polarization which are incident obliquely on a plasma slab are studied. The effect is of second order in the field of incident waves and is due to the excitation of electromagnetic echo waves near the slab boundaries. The analysis is carried out for the cases of specular and quasidiffuse reflection of the electrons from the boundaries. The transmitted and reflected waves which are excited are of polarization s. The amplitudes of these waves are found. The results are compared with results found earlier for the case in which the two incident waves have the same polarization.
