Abstract
The propagation of evanescent pulses under the conditions of frustrated internal reflection (FTIR) may appear as superluminal and non-causal, but only if it is treated as a 1D tunneling phenomenon. When its 3D nature is fully accounted for, it may be simply explained through a subluminal causal theory.
