Abstract
The photonic band gaps and the corresponding tunneling modes in a symmetric heterostructure containing negative-zero-positive index metamaterials (NZPIM) are studied systematically. The zero-\(\bar{n}\) gap is found to be insensitive to incident angle in contrast to the Bragg gap. Due to the linear dispersion of NZPIM, there exists an asymmetric Dirac point band gap which is always absent of the defect tunneling mode. The tunneling modes inside the gaps and the corresponding giant positive and negative Goos–Hänchen shifts are further investigated. Our results may have potential application in integrated optics and optical devices and also suggest analogous phenomena of valence electron in graphene superlattice.
