Plane wave diffraction on a layer of asymmetric hyperbolic metamaterial

We consider the diffraction of a plane wave on layer symmetric hyperbolic metamaterial made metal and SiO 2 layers. It is shown that reflection coefficient depends not only angle incidence, but also direction incidence relative to anisotropy axis. In an arbitrary fall, plate asymmetric creates scattered waves both polarizations. Keywords: metamaterial, diffraction, effective permittivity tensor, homogenization.
