Electromagnetic Plane Waves: In infrared optical systems germanium is often used to form optical components. For infrared wavelengths, germanium can be considered lossless, non-magnetic (u- 1) and has a relative dielectric constant e 16. Consider a plane wave inside a piece of germanium incident at the interface between germanium and air. The plane wave is polarized parallel to the plane of incidence and the angle of incidence is halfway between the Brewster angle and the critical angle for total internal reflection.
