✦ Synopsis

The distribution diagram and the boundary conditions of wave vectors are used here to study the propagation of light between anisotropic media. Reflectance and transmittance are calculated according to the non-symmetric internal reflection phenomenon. Total reflection of light propagating from a rare medium to a dense medium may occur. Castillo and BallinasÕ challenge of the correctness of Lin and Wu is adequate only in a particular case, and this study resolves both analyses by considering a more general case.
