Anomalous refraction phenomena in a transparent slab

Optics 2017-12-18 v1

Abstract

An exact formulation of the propagation of a monochromatic wave packet impinging upon a transparent, homogeneous, isotropic and parallel slab at oblique incidence is presented. Approximate formulas are derived for low divergence Gaussian light beams. These formulas show the presence of anomalous refraction phenomena at any slab thickness, including negative refraction and flat lensing effects, induced by the reflection on the rear face.
