The reflection and transmission characteristics of electromagnetic waves by the uniaxially anisotropic chiral slab with the optical axis parallel to the interface are investigated. Formulas of the reflection and transmission coefficients (power) are derived. The curves of powers of the reflected and transmitted electromagnetic waves are presented for four cases of dielectric constants according to their signs. The effects of chirality parameter on the reflection and transmission are discussed. Especially, the dependences of pseudo-Brewster angles on the chirality parameter are plotted.
