Abstract
The theory of light diffraction at the impedance step is developed which allows for an additional surface wave. Reflection and transmission coefficients for a surface wave are determined as well as radiative losses at the diffraction of the surface polaritons (SP). Coefficients of transformation of the incident bulk radiation energy to the SP energy are calculated. Resonance effects in the mirror reflection of bulk radiation are investigated. Possible application of the predicted effects for the study of optical properties of thin films and transition layers are discussed.
