摘要
Propagation of an electromagnetic wave in a layered locally isotropic medium is considered. An effective birefringence n(parallel-to) - n(perpendicular-to) approximately (lambda/a)2 for the parallel-to and perpendicular-to eigenpolarizations appears, and the corresponding phase difference phi(parallel-to) - phi(perpendicular-to) approximately (lambda/a) is calculated in this paper. An alternative method of calculation of the higher (approximately lambda/a) WKB corrections for the one-dimensional Schrodinger problem is developed as a by-product of the work.
