25 Oct 2004 | Journal: | Radio Sci. 40, RS3S90 (2005) DOI: 10.1029/2004RS003191 | Subject: | Optics; General Physics; Pattern Formation and Solitons | physics.optics nlin.PS physics.gen-ph | Abstract: | We analyze nonlinear properties of microstructured materials with negative refraction, the so-called left-handed metamaterials. We demonstrate that the hysteresis-type dependence of the magnetic permeability on the field intensity allows changing the material properties from left- to right-handed and back. Using the finite-difference time-domain simulations, we study wave transmission through the slab of nonlinear left-handed material, and predict existence of temporal solitons in such materials. We demonstrate also that nonlinear left-handed metamaterials can support both TE- and TM-polarized self-trapped localized beams, spatial electromagnetic solitons. Such solitons appear as single- and multi-hump beams, being either symmetric or antisymmetric, and they can exist due to the hysteresis-type magnetic nonlinearity and the effective domains of negative magnetic permeability. | Source: | arXiv, physics/0410243 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
