INTERFEROMETRIC DESCRIPTION OF OPTICAL METAMATERIALS

Interferometric description of optical metamaterials

We introduce a simple theoretical model that describes the interaction of light with optical metamaterials in terms of interfering optical plane waves.In this model, a metamaterial is considered to consist of planar arrays of densely packed nanoparticles.In the analysis, each such array reduces to an infinitely thin homogeneous sheet.The transmissi
