35. In deriving Eqs. (1) and (2), we made use of the fact that all odd transmission coefficients are zero, which follows from our choice of reference phase.
36. £ is, in fact, frequency dependent but can, in the interval of frequency over which Eq. (15) takes any appreciable value, be considered constant.
