Anisotropic Left-Handed andμ-Negative Slab Waveguides: Physics and Device Applications

[摘要] We study the properties of various anisotropic left-handed slab waveguides. The analysis is extended to anisotropicμ-negative slab waveguides. The possible existence of the plasmon modes in various anisotropic slab waveguide configurations is discussed. An FDTD program is developed to investigatethe potential device applications of these anisotropic structures. A new signal detector and a two-channelharmonic separator multiplexer are designed employing theμ-negative slab waveguide.
