About This Special Issue
The objective of this especial issue was to analyze the geometry of boundary surfaces and their effects on the reflecting electromagnetic wave toward the focal point. The wave polarization states, focal length and optical features of the mediums on both sides of the boundary surface and their effects on energy distribution of reflected wave are considered. Simulation and mathematical modeling was done according to the actual structure of a non-integrated parabolic mirror that has been made by the author in University of Kashan. Fixed the opening of boundary surface and change the focal length and the optical characteristics of the environments (environments located on both sides of the border) and incoming wave, one can find out the optimal situations. In addition, by applying a protective coating (such as glass with the specific thickness) to the substrate, the energy distribution does not limited to S and P polarization states of the incoming wave. In This situation the energy of the reflected wave is distributed on the axis of symmetry and will be dependent on the thickness of the protective layer.
