Abstract

In this paper, we consider the reflection of a vector polarized vortex beam from the boundaries of flat inhomogeneous anisotropic layers at oblique incidence. Fourier transforms are used to represent a light beam as a set of plane waves with different directions of wave vectors and amplitudes of projections of the electric field strength vector. Using the boundary conditions for an obliquely incident plane wave in an arbitrarily oriented plane, the light reflection and transmission matrices for plane waves are obtained. The coefficients of the reflection matrices depend on the direction of the wave vector of each incident plane light wave, and are also determined by the optical properties of the medium. The reflected light beam is considered as a collection of reflected plane waves. The structure and polarization of the reflected light beam are calculated using the inverse Fourier transform.
