Backward Waves Leaving a Metamaterial

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

The medium is composed of plane-parallel monolayers consisting of the Huygens elements. In the molecular optics model, expressions are obtained for the reflected field, the field within the medium, and (in the case of a layer of finite thickness) the field behind the medium. The extinction theorem is considered, and the expression for the refractive index is introduced. Under certain conditions, such a medium can behave like the medium with unit, zero, or negative real part of the refractive index at a given frequency. The condition for the realization of a magnetic mirror is formulated. In the case of a layer of the medium with finite thickness, it is shown that the backward waves leave the medium.
