Another coordinate system frequently used relates to the " plane of incidence ".
2.
One would typically choose axes to suit a particular problem such as " x " being in the plane of incidence.
3.
If surface plasmons are excited in the Kretschmann geometry and the scattered light is observed in the plane of incidence ( Fig . 4 ), then the dipole function becomes
4.
For example, if the polarization is perpendicular to the plane of incidence, then the electric field of any of the waves ( incident, reflected, or transmitted ) can be expressed as
5.
They report a substantial, negative lateral shift of the reflected beam in the plane of incidence for a p-polarization and a smaller, positive shift for the s-polarization case.
6.
:The law of refraction says that the refracted ray lies in the plane of incidence, and the sine of the angle of refraction divided by the sine of the angle of incidence is a constant:
7.
Such situations may be solved by decomposing the incident circular ( or other ) polarization into components of linear polarization parallel and perpendicular to the plane of incidence, commonly denoted " p " and " s " respectively.
8.
Since there are separate reflection coefficients for the linear polarizations in and orthogonal to the plane of incidence ( " p " and " s " polarizations, see below ), that choice greatly simplifies the calculation of a wave's reflection from a surface.

In the S�narmont prism the s-polarized ray ( i . e ., the ray with polarization direction perpendicular to the plane in which all rays are contained, called the plane of incidence ) passes through without being deflected, while the p-polarized ray ( with polarization direction in the plane of incidence ) is deflected ( refracted ) at the internal interface into a different direction.
