Symmetry constraints for vector scattering and transfer matrices containing evanescent components: Energy conservation, reciprocity, and time reversal
In this paper we study the scattering and transfer matrices for electric fields defined with respect to an angular spectrum of plane waves. For these matrices, we derive the constraints that are enforced by conservation of energy, reciprocity, and time reversal symmetry. Notably, we examine the gene...
