Backward Waves and Negative Refraction in Uniaxial Dielectrics with Negative Dielectric Permittivity along the Anisotropy Axis

چکیده
Veselago medium (also called double negative material, backward medium, left-handed medium) is a medium with both negative isotropic dielectric permittivity and permeability. It has the effect of backward waves with negative (anomalous) refraction, in contrast to the usual forward waves with normal refraction in normal isotropic dielectrics and/or magnetics. In this paper, examples of the existence of backward waves (with respect to the interface) without negative refraction, and negative refraction without backward waves in uniaxial dielectrics with negative permittivity along the anisotropy axis, are presented. Considering these examples increases the possibility of designing backward wave materials and negative Figure 9 Comparison between simulated and experimental results: (a) transmission coefficient S43 ; (b) reflection coefficient S33 .

Backward Wave Propagation of a Uniaxial Anisotropic -Negative Slab Composed of Metallic Spirals
1. Introduction It has been theoretically shown that backward waves can be supported not only by double-negative materials with simultaneous negative permittivity and permeability [1] but also by uniaxial anisotropic single-negative slabs with a negative component of permittivity or permeability tensor [2]. The uniaxial anisotropic single-negative materials are potentially advantageous in row l...
متن کاملSimulations of ferrite-dielectric-wire composite negative index materials.
We perform extensive finite difference time domain simulations of ferrite based negative index of refraction composites. A wire grid is employed to provide negative permittivity. The ferrite and wire grid interact to provide both negative and positive index of refraction transmission peaks in the vicinity of the ferrite resonance. Notwithstanding the extreme anisotropy in the index of refractio...
متن کاملTm-surface Waves along the Boundary between Two Nonlinear Anisotropic Dielectrics
It is shown that the Maxwell's equations for surface electromagnetic TM waves, propagating along the plane boundary between two nonlinear dielectrics with arbitrary diagonal tensor of dielectric permittivity, depending on |E|, can be integrated in quadratures.
متن کاملPermittivity Measurement and Anisotropy Evaluation of Dielectric Materials at Millimeter-waves
− This paper describes the design and use of an open Fabry-Perot resonator to evaluate the degree of anisotropy of dielectric material samples at millimeterwaves. The proposed implementation not only allows identifying the orientation of the dielectric principal axes but also determining the complex permittivity values along these axes.
متن کاملPhotonic Approach to Making a Left-Handed Material
A new approach to producing a composite material with negative refraction index is demonstrated. It is shown that a photonic structure which consists of two dielectric materials, with positive and negative dielectric permittivities, can support electromagnetic waves which exhibit the unusual electromagnetic property of left-handedness (or negative refraction index). These electromagnetic waves ...
