Left-handed media and homogenization of photonic crystals Auteur(s): Felbacq D., Bouchitte G. (Article) Publié: Optics Letters, vol. 30 p.1189-1191 (2005) Ref HAL: hal-00437977_v1 PMID 15943305 DOI: 10.1364/OL.30.001189 WoS: 000229011800035 Exporter : BibTex | endNote 37 Citations Résumé: Using homogenization theory, we derive the effective permittivity and permeability of a wire-mesh photonic crystal from first principles. We show that this structure does not lead to a left-handed medium when it is embedded in a matrix with a negative μ, but that resonators in a medium with a negative E do form a left-handed medium in the correct range of frequencies. © 2005 Optical Society of America. |
