Anisotropic Dielectric Media Transition

[elibj123]

Hey, I was going over my electromagnetics course material and I realized we didn't learn much about anisotropic mediums (and still we had some homework questions about them).
I'm trying to find some information about transition between anisotropic mediums, or even to be more specific - transitions through anisotropic mediums bounded by vacuum (which is apparently used to transform polarizations).
I'll deeply thank anyone who can find material on the subject or even explain (with not much rigor) the important results.

Thanks

!An anisotropic medium is one that has different properties in different directions. In particular, materials such as crystals are anisotropic, as they have different refractive indices in different directions. Transitions through anisotropic media can be used to transform polarizations of light. This process is known as anisotropic polarization transformation (APT). Here, an incident beam of light is split into two components, each with a different polarization. These two components then travel through an anisotropic medium, where the polarization of each component is transformed according to the anisotropy of the medium. The two components then recombine and emerge with a new polarization. The most important result when it comes to APT is the Jones matrix, which is used to calculate the polarization of the emerging beam. The Jones matrix is a 2x2 matrix derived from the refractive indices of the anisotropic medium, and is used to calculate the polarization of the emerging beam. For more information on APT and the Jones matrix, you can read this article: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022407316302060
