Weak contrast PP reflection/transmission coefficients for weakly anisotropic media with an arbitrary background

Ivan Psencik , Jorge Leonardo Martins & Vaclav Vavrycuk

Summary

The purpose of this contribution is to present formulae for PP reflection/transmission coefficients for weak contrast interfaces separating weakly anisotropic media with an arbitrary isotropic background and to show negative effects of considering non-linear terms in Thomsen's parameter delta on accuracy of approximate R/T coefficients.
