12. 2. A comparison of two ray diagrams indicates that the two conversion types are transformed into each other by a simple labeling a ↔ b as well as the interchange v → v*. Although physically both types lead to identical transmission and conversion coefficients, the off-diagonal components of their respective S matrix differ only by a phase factor (see Appendix C).
