Complete Tunneling of Light through MU-Negative Media
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research M, Vol. 8, 27-37, 2009
Abstract
We demonstrate complete tunneling of light through large-scale mu-negative media, which has negative permeability but positive permittivity, by constructing a quasi-one-dimensional structure with side branches. For the structure with a single side branch, there always exists a transmission peak which can be easily tuned by varying the parameters of the side branch. For the structure with periodic array of side branches, the transmission peak is enlarged to a band, which exhibits left-handedness, and can be tuned by changing the distance between two neighboring side branches and the length of the side branch.
