Definition: Left-handed metamaterials (LHMs) are composite materials with effective electrical permittivity,
ε ,
and magnetic permeability,
µ
, both negative over a common frequency band.
What is changed in electrodynamics due to these properties?

Because the energy is transported with the group velocity we find v g S U c 4 k k 1 16 d d E·E * d d H·H * 1 This may be rewritten as v g c d d 2 d d k .
k Since the denominator is positive the group velocity is parallel to the Poynting vector and antiparallel to the wave vector.

The group velocity, however, is also given by v g dk d 1 c d

k k We see n < 0 for vanishing dispersion of n This should be not confused with the superluminal, subluminal or negative velocity of light in RHS. These effects result exclusively from the dispersion of n.

An other miracle: Cloaking of a field
For the cylindrical lens, cloaking occurs for distances r 0 than r # if c = m r #
r 3 out r in less The animation shows a coated cylinder with in =1, s =-1+i·10 -7 , r out =4, r in =2 placed in a uniform electric field. A polarizable molecule moves from the right. The dashed line marks the circle r=r # . The polarizable molecule has a strong induced dipole moment and perturbs the field around the coated cylinder strongly. It then enters the cloaking region, and it and the coated cylinder do not perturb the external field.

There is more behind the curtain: 1. outside the film perfect lens – beating the diffraction limit How can this happen?
Let the wave propagate in the z-direction the larger k x and k y the better the resolution but k z becomes imaginary if 2 c 2 0 k 2 x k 2 y How does negative slab avoid this limit?

There is more behind the curtain: 2. inside the film The peak starts at the exit before it arrives the entry Example. Pulse propagation for n = -0.5
Oje, is this mad?!
No, it isn’t!

An explanation: Let us define the
rephasing length l
of the medium where
v g
is the group velocity If the rephasing length is zero then the waves are in phase at = 0 Remember, Fourier components in same phase interfere constructively Folie 48 Bernd Hüttner DLR Stuttgart

Summary
Metamaterials have new properties: 1. S and v g are antiparallel to k and v p 2. Angle of refraction is opposite to the angle of incidence 3. A slab acts like a lens. The optical way is zero 4. Make perfect lenses, R = 0, T = 1 5. Make bodies invisible 6. Can be tuned in many ways Folie 54 Bernd Hüttner DLR Stuttgart
