Abstract
We theoretically analyze waves propagating between an isotropic nonabsorbing medium and a biaxial anisotropic absorbing medium. A general complex ray-tracing method is proposed to determine the refractive indices, wavevectors, ray vectors (or Poynting vectors), and the polarization directions of the refracted waves for arbitrary direction of incidence and arbitrary orientation of principal axes. Expressions for the reflection and transmission coefficients are also derived. The work presented here is useful for the design of optical systems that incorporate the use of anisotropic absorbing components.
