Nonlinear surface waves in left-handed materials.
We study both linear and nonlinear surface waves localized at the interface separating a left-handed (LH) medium (i.e., a medium with both negative dielectric permittivity and negative magnetic permeability) and a conventional [or right-handed (RH)] dielectric medium. We demonstrate that the interface can support both TE- and TM-polarized surface waves-surface polaritons, and we study their pro...
متن کاملLeft-handed interfaces for electromagnetic surface waves.
We show that surface electromagnetic waves (SEMWs) propagating along two-dimensional (2D) interfaces separating different metamaterials can behave analogously to 3D electromagnetic waves in either usual or left-handed media, depending on the permeabilities and/or permittivities of the two materials forming the interface. We derive the conditions when SEMWs carry energy opposite to the phase vel...
متن کاملNonlinear guided waves and symmetry breaking in left-handed waveguides
We analyze nonlinear guided waves in a planar waveguide made of a left-handed material surrounded by a Kerr-like nonlinear dielectric, and predict that such a waveguide can support fast and slow symmetric and antisymmetric nonlinear modes. We study the symmetry breaking bifurcation and asymmetric modes in such a symmetric structure. The analysis of nonlinear dispersion properties of the guided ...
متن کاملThree-dimensional structures in nonlinear cavities containing left-handed materials.
We study the coupling between negative diffraction and direct dispersion in a nonlinear ring cavity containing slabs of Kerr nonlinear right-handed and left-handed materials. Within the mean field approximation, we show that a portion of the homogeneous response curve is affected by a three-dimensional modulational instability. We show numerically that the light distribution evolves through a s...
متن کاملOptical Bistability in Periodic Nonlinear Structures Containing Left Handed Materials
We study the transmission properties of a nonlinear periodic structure containing alternating slabs of a nonlinear right-handed material and a linear left-handed material. We find that the transmission associated with the zero-averaged refractive-index gap exhibits a bistable characteristic that is relatively insensitive to incident angles. This is in contrast to the nonlinear behavior of the u...
