6. Total reflection, resonance and propagation modes

The case of total reflection, a priori well known, deserves particular attention; in particular, the analysis of this phenomenon allows a better approach to the study of resonances and propagation modes...

6.1 Total reflection

Total reflection on a transparent substrate (figure 23 ) is well known, and is simply expressed by the condition [see relation (28) ] :
