Let denote an interface Fresnel reflection coefficient for - or -polarized light at an oblique angle of incidence and denote the same coefficient at normal incidence. Then it can be shown that is an analytic function of that depends parametrically on the angle of incidence . Here , where and are the normal-incidence amplitude reflectance and phase shift.
