Reflection and transmission of electromagnetic waves from a nonlinear anisotropic slab between two linear isotropic media

In this paper, the author has studied the reflection from and transmission through a homogenous nonlinear anisotropic slab (anisotropy being due to an external magnetic field) bounded by two linear isotropic media. Nonlinear equations describing the growth of the two modes of propagation of an electromagnetic wave in the direction of the magnetic field, in an anisotropic nonlinear medium, have been set up and solved; the solutions have been used to obtain expressions for the reflected and transmitted components of the incident wave. The simpler problem of the reflection and transmission from an isotropic nonlinear slab has also been discussed as a special case
