Birefringent left-handed metamaterials and perfect lenses
Alexander A. Zharov, Nina A. Zharova, Roman E. Noskov +2
We describe the properties of birefringent left-handed metamaterials and introduce the concept of a birefringent perfect lens. We demonstrate that, in a sharp contrast to the conve…
Nonlinear left-handed metamaterials
Ilya V. Shadrivov, Alexander A. Zharov, Nina A. Zharova +1
We analyze nonlinear properties of microstructured materials with negative refraction, the so-called left-handed metamaterials. We demonstrate that the hysteresis-type dependence o…
Subwavelength imaging with opaque left-handed nonlinear lens
Alexander A. Zharov, Nina A. Zharova, Ilya V. Shadrivov +1
We introduce the concept of subwavelength imaging with an opaque nonlinear left-handed lens by generating the second-harmonic field. We consider a slab of composite left-handed met…
Transmission properties of left-handed band-gap structures
Ilya V. Shadrivov, Nina A. Zharova, Alexander A. Zharov +1
We analyze transmission of electromagnetic waves through a periodic band-gap structure consisting of slabs of a left-handed metamaterial and air. Using the effective parameters of…
