Electron-beam instability in left-handed media.
We predict that two electron beams can develop an instability when passing through a slab of left-handed media (LHM). This instability, which is inherent only for LHM, originates from the backward Cherenkov radiation and results in a self-modulation of the beams and radiation of electromagnetic waves. These waves leave the sample via the rear surface of the slab (the beam injection plane) and f...
متن کاملOptical Limits in Left-Handed Media
This thesis determines the response of Left-Handed Media (LHM) to surface effects. A LHM half-space with a roughened interface, modelled by a graded index boundary, is shown to give rise to an analytical solution for the propagation of electromagnetic radiation through this inhomogeneous layer. Significant field localization is generated within the layer, caused by the coherent superposition of...
متن کاملLight Localization in Left-Handed Media
Localized waves in disordered left-handed materials are studied using a generalized coupled-dipole model. Resonances in an open system consisting of randomly distributed electric and magnetic dipoles are investigated. A new type of long-lived resonance modes localized at the boundary of the system is found. They resemble evanescent waves responsible for a superfocusing phenomenon by a left-hand...
متن کاملNegative group velocity and group delay in left-handed media.
The dynamics of wave propagation in media with negative index of refraction is analyzed through analytical calculations, simulations, and experiments. Using a free space setup, the transmission characteristics of two split ring resonator and strip wire left-handed media (LHM), designed for operation at K -band frequencies (18-26 GHz), are measured. The first LHM, which is 3 unit cells long in t...
متن کاملAn electron–positron beam–plasma instability
Using a new technique to generate cold electron beams, an electron-beam positron-plasma experiment was performed in a previously unexplored range of energies. An electron beam, formed from a thermalized room-temperature electron plasma, is transmitted through a positron plasma stored in a quadrupole Penning trap geometry. The transit-time instability, which is excited by the beam, was previousl...
