A 2 x 2 matrix method is developed and used to calculate the reflection and transmission amplitudes fornormal-incidence reflection and transmissionby uniaxial crystals andqstalslabs. The reflectionischaracterized by tworeRectionamplitudes(randr)which give the amplitudesofthe reflected field components alongandperpendicular to the incident polarization direction. The reflection results take the form r =.r cosg, + r. singl, r = (io-re)ws q sin.QI where g,isthe angle betweentheincident polarizationandtheordinary electric field vector in the crystal, and ro and .r are the reflection amplitudes of isotropic crystalsorcrystal plates. with appropriate refractive indices. Similar results are obtained for the transmission amplitudes. 1. Introduction In a recent paper (Lekner 1991)we have given formulae for the reflection and trans- mission amplitudes of a uniaxial crystal, at an arbitrary angle of incidence. Here we consider the special but important case of normal incidence, and extend the analysis to include the reflection and transmission by a crystal plate. We will show that a 2 x 2 matrix method can be used at normal incidence to give analytical results for all the required quantities, in contrast to the more general 4 X 4 matrix formalisms (Teitler and Henvis 1970,Berreman 1971,Yeh 1979,1988). We begin by rederiving the results of section 5.4 of Lekner (1991), in ord
