Abstract
In this paper, the tunneling phenomenon occurring in the photonic heterostructure consisting of single-negative (SNG) metamaterials is experimentally studied. First, the SNG metamaterials are fabricated using coplanar waveguide with lumped-element series capacitors and shunt inductors loading. Then, the tunneling phenomenon occurring in the photonic heterostructure containing SNG media is experimentally demonstrated. Moreover, the insensitivity of the tunneling frequency to the breakdown of periodicity of phonotic crystals was also illustrated.
