Phys. Rev. B 66, 085108 (2002) [7 pages]Characteristics of electromagnetic wave propagation in uniaxially anisotropic left-handed materialsReceived 28 January 2002; published 7 August 2002 We investigate the characteristics of electromagnetic wave propagation in uniaxially anisotropic left-handed media. We discuss mainly under what conditions anomalous reflection or refraction shall occur at the interface when propagating waves pass from one isotropic regular medium into another uniaxially anistotropic left-handed medium and under what conditions anomalous transmission shall occur when an evanescent wave is transmitted through a slab of uniaxially anisotropic left-handed medium. We show that the characteristics of electromagnetic wave propagation in uniaxially anisotropic left-handed media are significantly different from that in isotropic left-handed media. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
