We develop a new way to remove free-surface multiples from teleseismic Ptransmission and constructed reflection responses. We consider two types of teleseismic waves with the presence of the free surface: One is the recorded waves under the real transmission geometry; the other is the constructed waves under a virtual reflection geometry. The theory presented is limited to 1D plane wave acousti...

We address soliton reflection/transmission at interface between a uniform medium and an optical lattice with focusing Kerr nonlinearity. We reveal that such interfaces afford rich new opportunities for controlling the reflection and transmission coefficients and the nonlinear Snell law, the key control parameters being the spatial frequency and depth of refractive index modulation in the lattice.

S U M M A R Y Relations between reflection and transmission responses of horizontally layered media were formulated by Claerbout in 1968 and by many others. In this paper we derive similar relations for 3-D inhomogeneous media. As the starting point for these derivations, we make use of two types of propagation invariants, based on one-way reciprocity theorems of the convolution type and of the...

V. Twersky developed in the sixties a theory describing the reflection and transmission process of scalar plane waves from slab-like regions of randomly distributed scatterers. The theory, which is based on Foldy’s approximation and neglects “hole corrections”, is an alternative approach to an exact calculation of multiple scattering that fails when the number of scatterers is important. Twerky...

In the present paper, the problem of reflection and transmission of waves at an interface of elastic and microstretch thermoelastic solids with microtemperatureshas been studied. The amplitude ratios of various reflected and transmitted waves are functions of angle of incidence and frequency of incident wave. The expressions of amplitude ratios have been computed numerically for a particular mo...

In magneto-optic systems, Kerr and Faraday effects bring into play reflection and transmission matrices. Considering planar multilayer systems, we show that the elements of the reflection and transmission matrices obey general and simple relations valid whatever the geometry of the magneto-optic device may be. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

We develop a model for the reflection and transmission of plane waves by an isotropic layer sandwiched between two uniaxial crystals of arbitrary orientation. In the laboratory frame, reflection and transmission coefficients corresponding to the principal polarization directions in each crystal are given explicitly in terms of the [Formula: see text] axis and propagation directions. The solutio...
