Guided Modes In A Waveguide Filled With A Pair Of Single-Negative (Sng), Double-Negative (Dng), And/Or Double-Positive (Dps) Layers, Andrea Alù, Nader Engheta
Guided Modes In A Waveguide Filled With A Pair Of Single-Negative (Sng), Double-Negative (Dng), And/Or Double-Positive (Dps) Layers, Andrea Alù, Nader Engheta
Nader Engheta
Here we present the results of our theoretical analysis for guided modes in parallel-plate waveguides filled with pairs of parallel layers made of any two of the following materials: 1) a material with negative real permittivity, but positive real permeability (epsilon-negative); 2) a material with negative real permeability, but positive real permittivity (mu-negative); 3) a material with both negative real permittivity and permeability (double-negative); and 4) a conventional material with both positive real permittivity and permeability (double-positive) in a given range of frequency. Salient properties of these guided modes are studied in terms of how these materials and their parameters …
Pairing An Epsilon-Negative Slab With A Mu-Negative Slab: Resonance, Tunneling And Transparency, Andrea Alù, Nader Engheta
Pairing An Epsilon-Negative Slab With A Mu-Negative Slab: Resonance, Tunneling And Transparency, Andrea Alù, Nader Engheta
Andrea Alù
Here, we analyze the transverse-magnetic (TM) wave interaction with a pair of slabs, one being an epsilon-negative (ENG) layer in which the real part of permittivity is assumed to be negative while its permeability has positive real part, and the other being a mu-negative (MNG) layer that has the real part of its permeability negative but its permittivity has positive real part. Although wave interaction with each slab by itself has predictable features, we show that the juxtaposition and pairing of such ENG and MNG slabs may, under certain conditions, lead to some unusual features, such as resonance, complete tunneling, …
