Abstract
The author studies the way in which electromagnetic waves at arbitrary angles of incidence are localised in the direction normal to the strata of a randomly stratified medium. The author points out differences from the case of normal incidence, and, in particular, differences between the two polarisation modes which amount to a type of birefringence.Keywords
