摘要
Polarisation, amplitude and beam shape aspects of the three-dimensional optical beam reflection at dielectric interfaces are analysed within a framework of the aberrationless approach. Roles of the paraxial approximation, the cross-dimensional coupling and the nonparaxial cross-polarisation coupling in the beam description are discussed. It is shown that the substantial first-order transverse beam modifications exist for both - linear and circular - beam polarisation states. Characteristic features of the single beam bistable switch at nonlinear interfaces are also discussed and numerical examples of the reflected beam field reshaping are presented.
