Beam shaping by a layered structure with left-handed materials

Optics 2007-05-23 v1 Condensed Matter

Abstract

We analyze transmission of a layered photonic structure (a one-dimensional photonic crystal) consisting of alternating slabs of two materials with positive and negative refractive index. For the periodic structure with zero averaged refractive index, we demonstrate a number of unique properties of the beam transmission observed in strong beam modification and reshaping.
