Focusing of electromagnetic plane wave from a large size paraboloidal reflector, composed of layers of chiral and/or chiral nihility metamaterials, has been studied us- ing Maslov's method. First, the transmission and reflection of…

Negative refraction, which reverses many fundamental aspects of classical optics, can be obtained in systems with negative magnetic permeability and negative dielectric permittivity. This Letter documents an experimental realization of…

Describing the phenomenon of total internal reflection in terms of a reflection coefficient of unit magnitude, we found that, not only can propagating plane waves be total internally reflected at the planar interface of two dissimilar,…

In Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 157404 (2003) Yong Zhang et al. study light propagation through an interface between two identical but differently oriented uniaxial crystals. The authors show that the light refraction at the interface at some…

Trirefringence is related to the existence of three distinct phase velocity solutions (and polarizations) for light propagation in a same wave-vector direction. This implies that when a trirefringent medium refracts a light ray, it is split…

We consider reflection of electromagnetic waves from layered structures with various dielectric and magnetic properties, including metamaterials. Assuming periodic variations in the permittivity, we find that the reflection is in general…

Gravitation has interesting consequences for plane wave propagation in a vacuum. The propagation of plane waves with phase velocity directed opposite to the the time-averaged Poynting vector is investigated for a generally curved spacetime.…

The inverse Faraday effect is a magneto-optical process allowing the magnetization of matter by an optical excitation carrying a non-zero spin or orbital moment of light. This phenomenon was considered until now as symmetric; right or left…

This work demonstrates the existence of both negative refraction and a negative refractive index in an optical uniaxial absorbent medium that can be characterized by ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices. Negative refraction occurs…

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…

Modification of the photon dispersion relation in chiral matter enables $1\to 2$ scattering. As a result, the single fermion and photon states are unstable to photon radiation and pair production respectively. In particular, a fast fermion…

We show that a hybrid metamaterial slab comprising of an one-dimensional array of two different types of cavities exhibits ferrimagnetic-like surface resonances which can be used to realize interesting phenomena such as directive emission…

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…

In this work, we study the propagation and absorption of plasma waves in the chiral Maxwell-Carroll-Field-Jackiw (MCJF) electrodynamics. The Maxwell equations are rewritten for a cold, uniform, and collisionless fluid plasma model, allowing…

The phenomenon of negative refraction generally requires negative refractive indices or phase discontinuities, which can be realized using metamaterials or metasurfaces. Recent theories have proposed a novel mechanism for negative…

Negative-index refraction is achieved in a lamellar composite with epsilon-negative (ENG) and mu-negative (MNG) materials stacked alternatively. Based on the effective medium approximation, simultaneously negative effective permittivity and…

We are considered the propagation of the fundamental and second harmonic solitary waves under the slowly varying envelope pulses approximation in a quadratic nonlinear medium that characterized by negative refraction index at the frequency…

We report that normal incidence reflection and transmission of circularly polarized electromagnetic waves from and through planar split-ring metamaterials with chiral symmetry breaking depends on the incidence direction and handedness of…

We demonstrated that dipole-exchange spin waves traveling in geometrically restricted magnetic thin films satisfy the same laws of reflection and refraction as light waves. Moreover, we found for the first time novel wave behaviors of…

Theoretical and computational study of reflection and refraction of electromagnetic waves with $p$-polarized and normal incidence electric wave amplitude vector on anisotropic, inhomogeneous and linear medium has been done. The medium used…
