چکیده

Some Problems with Negative Refraction* by John Michael Williams P. O. Box 2697, Redwood City, CA 94064 [email protected] Abstract J. B. Pendry's "Negative Refraction Makes a Perfect Lens" is analyzed. It appears that several statements may be understood in terms of lens design but not in terms of fundamental behavior of light. In a recent Letter, "Negative Refraction Makes a Perfect Lens" (PRL, 2000, v. 85(18), pp. 3966 3969), author J. B. Pendry makes several puzzling claims.

Refraction at the Interface of a Lossy Metamaterial

The refraction phenomenon at the interface of an ordinary material and a lossy metamaterial has been investigated. For oblique incidence on the lossy metamaterial, the planes of constant amplitude of the refracted wave are parallel to the interface and the plane of constant phases make a real angle with the interface (real refraction angle). The real refraction angle and hence, the real refract...

Investigation tow of negative refraction characters in the three different 2D phononic crystals

In this paper, a two-dimensional phononic crystal comprising of steel rod in water is investigated. Three cross- sections for this rod are considered using finite element method (EFM). We plot the equifrequency surface of the first band, because of equifrequency surface convex around the edge of the first Brillouin Zone, we guess the negative effective phononic mass and so negative refraction. ...

Preparing materials with a desired refraction coefficient and applications

A recipe is given for creating material with a desired refraction coefficient by embedding many small particles in a given material. To implement practically this recipe, some technological problems are to be solved. These problems are formulated. Applications of the materials with a desired refraction coefficient are mentioned. One of the possible applications is preparing materials with desir...

Design and Simulation of a New Highly Sensitive Gas Sensor Based on Negative Refraction Photonic Crystal

In this paper, design and simulation of a new highly sensitive gas sensor based on a hybrid photonic crystal (PC) structure, containing negative and positive refractive index sections, is presented. It has been shown that using a PC with negative refraction in the first section, the transmitted power is concentrated on the entrance of the sensing channel, and the transmission of the proposed se...

Relationship between head wave amplitudes and seismic refraction velocities to detect lateral variation in the refractor

Refractor ambiguities are big problem in seismic refraction method especially in seismic engineering. There can be hidden subsurface geological phenomena such as hidden faults and shear zones which are not simply predicted by the travel-time graph or some geophysical methods. Head wave amplitudes are used to show the resolution of refractor ambiguities and the existence of anisotropy in complex...
