Abstract

The dyadic Green's function, relating currents and fields in transverse-k space, is determined for a homogeneous magnetoplasma, and then extended to a plane- stratified system by means of the reflexion and transmission matrices of the medium, taking into account multiple reflexions at the source and observation points. A conjugate problem is next considered, in which the propagation eigenvectors have a certain mirror symmetry with respect to those in the original problem and, by relating the scattering matrices in the two cases, a Lorentz-type reciprocity theorem is derived relating currents and fields in the original problem with the mirrored currents and their associated wave fields which characterize the conjugate problem.
