abstract: A generalized analysis of wave propagation in periodic layered media is applied to the special case of optical surface waves. These waves, confined to the interface between a periodic layered medium and a homogeneous medium, are formally analogous to electronic surface states in crystals. Single mode surface wave propagation along the surface of a GaAs AlGaAs multilayer stack (grown by molecular beam epitaxy) has been observed experimentally.

abstract: The first part of this work describes theoretical and experimental studies of Stark induced three wave mixing in gaseous NH2D. Application of a dc electric field to a gaseous system destroys the basic inversion symmetry and allows two photon mixing processes to occur. A theoretical derivation of this effect under conditions of resonantly enhanced non linearities is given for a three level system. Calculations are presented for mixing of a CO2 laser with a 4 GHz microwaves in the molecule NH2D, producing single lower sideband radiation. Experimental observation of resonantly enhanced, dc induced, three wave mixing in gaseous NH2D is presented. The dependence of this effect on gas pressure, microwave frequency, applied dc field, and microwave power are presented and compared with theoretical predictions. The experiment was done at Hughes Research Laboratories by Abrams and his coworkers. The second part of this work describes the propagation of electromagnetic waves in periodic layered media. The propagation of electromagnetic radiation in periodically stratified media is considered. Media of finite, semi finite and infinite extent are treated. A diagonalization of the unit cell translation operator is used to obtain exact solutions for the Bloch waves, the dispersion relations, and the band structure of the medium. The theory of electromagnetic Bloch waves in periodic stratified media is then applied to the problems of birefringence, and group velocity in these media. The relevance of periodic media to phase matching in nonlinear mixing experiments and to laser action in the x ray region is discussed. New types of guided waves such as Bragg guided waves and optical surface waves are theoretically predicted and experimentally observed.

abstract: The propagation of electromagnetic radiation in birefringent layered media is considered. A general formulation of the plane wave propagation in an arbitrarily birefringent layered medium is presented. The concepts of dynamical matrix and propagation matrix are introduced. A 4 x 4 transfer matrix method is used to relate the field amplitudes in different layers. Our general theory is then applied to the special case of periodic birefringent layered media, especially the Solc birefringent layered media I. Solc Cesk. Casopis Fys.3, 366 1953);Cesk. Casopis Fys.10, 16 1960) The unit cell translation operator is derived. The band structures as well as the Bloch waves are obtained by diagonalizing the translation operator. Coupled mode theory is extended to the case of birefringent periodic perturbation to explain the exchange Bragg scattering. A general mode dispersion relation for guided waves is also obtained in terms of the transfer matrix elements.

abstract: We analyze the form birefringence dispersion of periodic dielectric layered media. Using Bloch wave analysis, we investigate the shape of the normal surface and its dependence on wavelength. Our higher order uniaxial approximation gives an explicit expression for the additional dispersion of the form birefringence that is due to the finite layer thickness.
