26

Some Non-Intuitive Properties of Negative Refraction

A beam incident on an LHM from an RHM refracts to the same side of the normal.

A point source impinging on a flat, parallel slab of LHM would be refocused to a point on the opposite side of the material.

Of suitable index, it can produce a focus with subwavelength resolution beating the normal diffraction limit associated with positive refractive index optics.

Misc. applications: e.g. open cavity.

Some Other Behaviors of LHM

Reverse Doppler Effect in LHM

In RHM, EM waves undergo blue shift when they are reflected from a approaching object, or red shift from a leaving object

In LHM, it is reversed

Some Remarks

Photonics crystals or photonic band gap (PBG)Size p ~ nλ/2

Effective homogeneity in LHMSize p < λ/4

Properties of photonic crystals are essentially determined by the lattice, while the (refractive) properties of MTM are determined by the nature of the unit cell
