On the electromagnetic properties of active media
arXiv:0712.3132 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.78.036603
Abstract
Several results concerning active media or metamaterials are proved and discussed. In particular, we consider the permittivity, permeability, wave vector, and refractive index, and discuss stability, refraction, gain, and fundamental limitations resulting from causality.
