Abstract
A rigorous analytical solution is obtained for two-dimensional boundary value problems describing E-polarized fields of a current source located near two- and three-layer stacks composed of single-negative layers. Conditions for complete tunneling of the source field into the half-space behind the multilayer stacks are formulated. It is rigorously demonstrated that such structures exhibit the previously predicted effect of ideal image displacement.
