Abstract

The phase matching condition relating the real transverse wave vectors across a periodic boundary has been generalized to the case of complex transverse wave vectors. Based on this generalization, we describe diffraction of a complex Bloch wave propagating within a composite prism, and show that the resulting light in free space is an inhomogeneous plane wave in the presence of losses within the prism.
