Purpose: The purpose of this article is to examine what influence on the transmission has a rotation of the vibration plane, which electric field vector of the electromagnetic wave lies, on the transmission properties of the binary superlattice. In the literature, the most common transmission structure are given for the P or S wave polarization. This article aims to verify the nature of the transmission when the polarization is not strictly defined. Design/methodology/approach: In the paper the transmission of quasi one-dimensional binary structures is analized depending on the angle of incidence and wavelength of electromagnetic wave and on torsion angle of the plane of the electric field, using the matrix method. Findings: Changing the angle of rotation of the incident electromagnetic wave electric field vibration plane affects the size of the interband transmission and causes separation of fixed transmission bands locations for specific wavelength and angle of incidence. Research limitations/implications: Quasi one-dimensional binary superlattices composed of lossless, non dispersive isotropic materials were analyzed. It would be important to investigate influence of loss factor and the two- and three-dimensional periodic and aperiodic structures on the electromagnetic wave transmission. Also important would be to compare results with those obtained from the use of finite increments algorithm in the time domain (FDTD) and the correlation with experimental data. Practical implications: The test structures may be used as filters of electromagnetic wave propagation. The structure and thickness of the layers has a significant influence on the characteristics of the transmission, which will allow to design the structure in order to met the conditions of specific applications. Originality/value: In this paper, a method for the analysis of the electromagnetic waves transmission characteristics in the case where the electric field is not polarized in the S, or P directions only.
