Abstract
Light propagation in stratified anisotropic media with arbitrary orientation of optic axes smoothly varying from layer to layer is considered. In the WKB approximation, a general expression for the field is obtained. For the case of a uniaxial medium, the normal waves are found and specific features of the light propagation are analyzed. General conditions are obtained that determine the turning points and forbidden zones. It is shown that the developed approach allows one to find trajectories of rays in anisotropic media with arbitrary layered structure.
