Provide additional details for calculating phase of reflection coefficient in tutorial #2615

Closed oskooi closed 1 year ago

Adds two important details to Tutorial/Mode Decomposition/Phase of a Total Internal Reflected Mode involving: (1) the definition of the phase as the argument of the complex mode coefficient and (2) the convention used to define the phase based on the sign of the mode coefficients.
