Abstract :
The present work is the continuation of previous investigations performed by the authors (1999) of electromagnetic short pulse propagation in different media. The following two adjustments are discussed: 1) The reflection and propagation of a short pulse in the half-space is considered instead of its propagation in infinite space as discussed in previous works; 2) The representation of the incident pulse field with Laguerre polynomials. It represents well the shape of a real pulse.
