Résumé

Light propagation (reflection, refraction and transmission) through homogeneous uniaxial medium layer with a finite thickness having double anisotropy (i.e. with anisotropy of both dielectric and magnetic permittivities) and an arbitrary orientation of its optical axis in the plane of incidence are investigated. Conditions when layer works as an omnidirectional reflector (independent from incident light polarization and angle) and also conditions for total transmission (independent from incident light polarization and for fixed incident angle) are considered. In purpose of getting laser cavity applications we have discussed certain case of anisotropic layer in which the light accumulation reaches two hundred times more than the intensity of incident light.
