Abstract

The Fresnel filtering (FF) effect was evaluated by calculating the far-field peaks of the set of diamond resonances while varying the index of refraction. The transmission direction of a narrow beam through a plane dielectric interface was observed to be different from the direction predicted by application of Snell's law to the incident beam direction. Fresnel effect showed that when a narrow beam was incident upon a dielectric interface near the critical angle for total internal reflection, it transmitted into far field with an angular deflection from the direction predicted by Snell's law.
