Matching of a Linearly Varying Amplitude Electromagnetic Wave with an Absorbing Substrate

Resumo

This work considers the reflection of an electromagnetic wave off a structure consisting of two or three non-absorbing layers on an absorbing semi-infinite substrate. A plane wave with a linearly varying amplitude and a given carrier frequency is taken as the incident wave. The conditions on the layers parameters for a complete matching of a varying amplitude incident wave with the substrate are determined. The effect of small variations in the parameters of the layers on the complete matching is investigated.
