Slow Electromagnetic Surface TM-Waves in Planar Waveguide Structure with Mu-Negative Metamaterial Slab
Abstract
In this work, we study the properties of slow electromagnetic surface TM-waves propagating along the planar waveguide structure involving the mu-negative metamaterial slab. The planar mu-negative metamaterial layer separates two semi-infinite regions: the plasma and the conventional dielectric. All media are assumed to be linear, homogeneous, and isotropic. The dispersion properties, the phase and group velocities, the spatial distribution of the electromagnetic fields of the TM mode in frequency range where the metamaterial has a negative permeability are under the consideration. The properties of this TM-eigenwave of the structure and two other TE modes are compared. It is studied the TM-eigenwave properties variation with metamaterail and plasma-like media properties changing. It is shown that for the considered structure, the properties of the TM mode depend significantly on the parameters of the plasma-like medium.
