Trirefringence in nonlinear metamaterials

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: We study the propagation of electromagnetic waves in the limit of geometrical optics for a class of nearly transparent nonlinear uniaxial metamaterials for which their permittivity tensors present a negative principal component. Their permeabilities are assumed positive and dependent on the electric field. We show that light waves experience triple refraction---trirefringence. In addition to the ordinary wave, two extraordinary waves propagate in such media.
