It can be seen, the incident linearly polarised beam is converted to an elliptically<br />

polarised beam, due to the change in polarisation of the s and p components of the beam<br />

on reflection. Fresnel reflection is the reflection of a portion of the incident light at an<br />

interface between two substances with different refractive indices. The Fresnel reflection<br />

coefficient, Rf, is given by equation (6.20) [4].
