12. An initial choice that does not satisfy Eqs. (3) physically represents a backreflected wave that is sustained by a field that, at the medium's output, constitutes the superposition of two counterpropagating waves with suitable complex amplitudes. This is a physically meaningful and acceptable solution, but it is not the solution of the problem that we are dealing with.
