چکیده
We reviewed the recent progress in the left-handed materials with simultaneously negative permittivity and permeability. Attention has been given to the fundamental electromagnetic properties in the left-handed material, metamaterial designs, applications, and homogenization methods.

Parametrically shielding electromagnetic fields by nonlinear metamaterials.
An analytical theory is developed for parametric interactions in metamaterial multilayer structures with simultaneous nonlinear electronic and magnetic responses and with a near-zero refractive index. We demonstrate theoretically that electromagnetic fields of certain frequencies can be parametrically shielded by a nonlinear left-handed material slab, where the permittivity and permeability are...
متن کاملLeft-handed interfaces for electromagnetic surface waves.
We show that surface electromagnetic waves (SEMWs) propagating along two-dimensional (2D) interfaces separating different metamaterials can behave analogously to 3D electromagnetic waves in either usual or left-handed media, depending on the permeabilities and/or permittivities of the two materials forming the interface. We derive the conditions when SEMWs carry energy opposite to the phase vel...
متن کاملElectrodynamics of metallic photonic crystals and the problem of left-handed materials.
An analytical theory of low frequency electromagnetic waves in metallic photonic crystals with a small volume fraction of a metal is presented. The evidence for such waves has been obtained recently by experiments and computations. The cutoff frequency of these waves, omega(0), is studied. An analytical expression for the permittivity epsilon is obtained and shown to be negative below omega(0)....
متن کاملCoupled nonlinear Schrodinger field equations for electromagnetic wave propagation in nonlinear left-handed materials.
For isotropic and homogeneous nonlinear left-handed materials, for which the effective medium approximation is valid, Maxwell's equations for electric and magnetic fields lead naturally, within the slowly varying envelope approximation, to a system of coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations. This system is equivalent to the well-known Manakov model that under certain conditions, is completely i...
متن کاملBistable diode action in left-handed periodic structures.
We study nonlinear transmission of an asymmetric multilayer structure created by alternating slabs of two materials with positive and negative refractive indices. We demonstrate that such a structure exhibits passive spatially nonreciprocal transmission of electromagnetic waves, the analog of the electronic diode. We study the properties of this left-handed diode and confirm its highly nonrecip...
