It is critical to the operation of fiber optics and occurs at incidence angles above the critical angle.
This phenomenon causes circularly-polarized and linearly-polarized waves to undergo a small phase shift perpendicular to the direction of propagation in the Imbert-Fedorov and Goos-Hänchen effects, respectively. This effect creates evanescent surface waves which can traverse a sufficiently small gap, causing the frustrated form of this effect. This effect is predicted by the (*) Fresnel equations, as the transmission coefficients decrease as the incidence angle increases. It is critical to the operation of fiber optics and occurs at incidence angles above the critical angle. For 10 points, identify this effect in which light is prevented from entering a medium with a lower index of refraction.
