Abstract
The output characteristics of a stratified medium in the case of bilateral incidence of monochromatic light waves have been investigated. If the waves are incident in such a way as a single mode is standing in the medium, an asymmetry occurs in output intensities of both sides, even if the incident intensities are equal. For a medium with some values of the refractive and attenuation index, there can be a state in which both incident waves are completely absorbed. This is discussed in detail for the case of a Fabry–Perot cavity containing a linear optical medium.
