A light beam changes direction as it enters a liquid at an angle from another medium, such as air. Should the liquid contain molecules that lack mirror symmetry, then it has been predicted by Fresnel that the light beam will not only change…
Mediums which do not support the propagation of plane waves with negative phase velocity (NPV) when viewed at rest can support NPV propagation when they are viewed in a reference frame which is uniformly translated at sufficiently high…
It is demonstrated that a structured material formed by nonconnected crossed metallic wires may enable negative refraction over a wide frequency range. This phenomenon is a consequence of the anomalous dispersion characteristics of the…

We develop an approach to use nanostructured plasmonic materials as a non-magnetic negative-refractive index system at optical and near-infrared frequencies. In contrast to conventional negative refraction materials, our design does not…
A metamaterial with a negative effective index of refraction is made from a three-dimensional hexagonal lattice photonic crystal with a metallic basis embedded in foam. It has been simulated with Ansoft HFSSTM in a frequency range from 7.0…
In light refraction between two transparent media, Snell's law describes the relationship between the incident angle and refraction angle. The refractive index is usually determined from Snell's law using the minimum deviation angle through…
When an oscillating line source is placed in front of a special mirror consisting of an array of flat uniformly spaced ferrite rods, half of the image disappeared at some frequency. We believe that this comes from the coupling to photonic…
We analyze refraction of electromagnetic wave packets on passing from an isotropic positive to an isotropic negative refractive index medium. We definitively show that in all cases the energy is always refracted negatively. For localized…
Negative refraction is such a prominent electromagnetic phenomenon that most researchers believe it can only occur in artificially engineered metamaterials. In this article, we report negative refraction for all incident angles for the…
We study the backward scatterings of plane waves by reciprocal scatterers and reveal that $n$-fold ($n\geq3$) rotation symmetry is sufficient to secure invariant backscattering for arbitrarily-polarized incident plane waves. It is further…
We analyze wave scattering by an interface between a positive refractive index medium and a Left-Handed Material. We show that the negative refraction effect can be deduced directly from Maxwell equations, without references to causality or…
In this work, we introduce reconfigurable intelligent surfaces designed to simultaneously perform reflection of single or multiple incident waves toward the receiver or receivers and sensing the angles of arrival. We achieve anomalous…
The four wavenumbers associated with planewave propagation in a Faraday chiral medium (FCM) with relatively huge magnetoelectric coupling give rise to enhanced possibilities for negative-phase-velocity propagation and therefore negative…
Negative real parts of the permittivity and permeability lead an isotropic chiral medium to exhibit circular dichroism that is reversed with respect to that exhibited by an identical medium but the real parts of whose permittivity and…
A particle beam may undergo an anomalous spatial shift when it is reflected at an interface. The shift forms a vector field defined in the two-dimensional interface momentum space. We show that, although the shift vector at individual…
Phase delays, spectral, orientation, and angular dependences of radiation refraction in metamaterial targets have been experimentally studied within the millimeter-wave range. It has been shown that angular and spectral dependences have a…
The atmospheres of (exo) planets and moons, as well as reflection nebulae, contain in general independently scattering particles in random orientation and are often supposed to be plane-parallel. Relations are presented for the…
Phase reversal occurs in the propagation of an electromagnetic wave in a negatively refracting medium or a phase-conjugate interface. Here we report the experimental observation of phase reversal diffraction without the above devices. Our…
We investigate the electromagnetic response of a pair of complementary bi-anisotropic media, which consist of a medium with positive refractive index ($+\ep$, $+\mu$, $+\xi$) and a medium with negative refractive index($-\ep$, $-\mu$,…
