A material comprised of an array of subwavelength coaxial waveguides decomposes incident electromagnetic waves into spatially discrete wave components, propagates these components without frequency cut-off, and reassembles them on the far…
Well-established textbook arguments suggest that static electric susceptibility must be positive in "all bodies" [1]. However, it has been pointed out that media that are not in thermodynamic equilibrium are not necessarily subject to this…

Conventional textbook treatments on electromagnetic wave propagation consider the induced charge and current densities as "bound", and therefore absorb them into a refractive index. In principle it must also be possible to treat the medium…
