AbstractThe guided dispersion characteristics of the fundamental symmetric and asymmetric modes of surface waves along single- and double-negative indexed slab waveguides are investigated, and a comparative analysis made when varying the single- and double-negative permittivity and permeability. While the values of the permittivity and permeability of the slab region are varied to obtain a salient picture of the guided dispersion characteristics, identical absolute product values are used for both slab cases to facilitate a reasonable comparison. In particular, in common ranges where guided mode solutions coexist for both the single- and double-negative indexed slabs, the guided mode characteristics are similar with a lower normalized frequency regime, indicating that the sign of the material parameters has a negligible effect, whereas the characteristics become quite different as the normalized frequency increases. Some other anomalous guided dispersion properties are also discussed and compared with previously reported results.

Effective Medium Approach

AbstractIn the homogenization of composite metamaterials the role played by the relative positions of the wires and resonators is not well understood, though essential. We present an effective medium approach which can systematically account for these effects. It involves independently homogenizing rows of wires and planes of resonators as slabs with negative permittivity and permeability respectively. The metamaterial is then treated as a 1D single negative anisotropic stack. Using this approach we show that it is in principle possible to satisfy the requirements of Pendry's superlens, [mu]=[epsilon]=-1 , up to losses. We propose a class of structure geometries which seems promising for achieving this holy grail of metamaterial science.
