Abstract

The dispersion properties of surface waves propagating along the interface between a resonant metamaterial and vacuum have been studied. It is shown that such an interface can support both forward and backward waves. The case of degeneracy, where an infinite number of waves with arbitrary retardation correspond to one frequency, has been investigated.
