Abstract
The exact-image method, recently introduced for the solution of electromagnetic field problems involving sources above a planar interface between two homogeneous media, is shown to be valid also for sources located in complex space, which makes its application possible for Gaussian-beam analysis. It is demonstrated that the Goos–Hänchen shift and the angular shift of a TE-polarized beam are correctly given as asymptotic results by the exact-reflection-image theory. Also, the apparent-image location giving the correct Gaussian beam transmitted through the interface is obtained as another asymptotic check. The theory described here makes it possible to calculate the exact coupling from the Gaussian beam to the reflected and refracted beams as well as to the surface wave.
