The influence of the leading term in the exact solution of the Maxwell equations on the reflection of a plane TM wave from a symmetrically realigned nematic layer with tangential orientation at the limiting walls and arbitrary anchoring is considered theoretically. The reflectivity coefficient R is obtained and the possibilities for application in the experiments eventually performed are discussed in detail. On the basis of the theoretical results obtained, the case of a symmetrically deformed homoeotropic nematic layer is briefly considered as well.
