Electromagnetic tunneling through a single-negative slab paired with a double-positive bilayer

We show that resonant tunneling of electromagnetic fields can occur through a three-layer structure composed of a single-negative (i.e., either negative-permittivity or negative-permeability) slab paired with bi-layer made of double-positive (i.e., positive permittivity and permeability) media. In particular, one of the two double-positive media can be chosen arbitrarily (even vacuum), while the other may exhibit extreme (either near-zero or very high) permittivity/permeability values. Our results on this counterintuitive tunneling phenomenon also demonstrate the possibility of synthesizing double-positive slabs that effectively exhibit single-negative-like wave-impedance properties within a moderately wide frequency range.

“…However, the frequencies of such transmission bands are sensitive to the incident angle, making these periodic structures inefficient in the case of multidirectional filtering. On the other hand, tunneling modes with weak angular dependence could be generated in 1D layered structures consisting of SNG materials [15][16][17][18]. However, the periodicity of these SNG structures has to be broken, for example, by introducing defects in the structures, to produce such tunneling modes.…”

Multichannel and omnidirectional transmission can be realized in one-dimensional periodic metamaterial layers, where double-negative materials and single-negative materials are alternately stacked. The proposed structures can produce as many resonance transmission modes as desired by adjusting the number of the periods. Such transmission modes with perfect transmission are robust against incident angles and polarizations. The frequencies and frequency intervals of these modes can be tuned by changing the thicknesses of the metamaterial layers. Composite right/left-handed transmission lines with lumped elements

“…If ENG layers and MNG layers are stacked periodically, there exhibit band structures, including a left-handed band and a right-handed band [10]. Tunneling is also achieved in heterostructures constituted by two different SNG periodic structures, owing to the resonant coupling of the evanescent-wave-based interface modes [11]. More recent study shows that periodic structures consisting of left-handed metamaterials and SNG materials can be designed to have omnidirectional transparency to some electromagnetic wave of any polarization [12].…”

Abstract-We demonstrate complete tunneling of light through largescale mu-negative media, which has negative permeability but positive permittivity, by constructing a quasi-one-dimensional structure with side branches. For the structure with a single side branch, there always exists a transmission peak which can be easily tuned by varying the parameters of the side branch. For the structure with periodic array of side branches, the transmission peak is enlarged to a band, which exhibits left-handedness, and can be tuned by changing the distance between two neighboring side branches and the length of the side branch.
