Omnidirectional constant transmission and negative Brewster angle at planar interfaces associated with a uniaxial medium.
This paper presents our detailedly theoretical analyses on omnidirectional constant transmission and negative Brewster angle at planar interfaces associated with a uniaxial medium. The amplitude reflection and transmission coefficients at planar interfaces associated with uniaxial media are derived by examining the boundary condition and the dispersion relation. It is found that under certain conditions, the coefficients are constants independent of the incident angle. Another interesting phenomenon is that an interface between isotropic and uniaxial media can exhibit negative refraction under Brewster condition. Our results offer considerable potential device applications of uniaxial media.
