Dispertion relations in Left-Handed Materials
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
6.635 lecture notes
1 Introduction
We know already the following properties of LH media:
1. r andr are frequency dispersive.
2. r andr are negative over a similar frequency band.
3. The tryad (E, H, k) is left-handed.
4. The index of refraction is negative.
From the past lectures, we know that these materials can be realized by a succession of wires
and rods:
Periodic arrangement of rods: realizes a plasma medium with negative r over a certainfrequency band. The model for the permittivity is:
r = 1 2ep
2 +ie. (1)
Periodic arrangement of rings (split-rings) realizes a resonant r modeled as
r = 1 F 2mp
2 2mo+im, (2)
where F is the fractional area of the unit cell occupied by the interior of the split-ring
(F 0. Therefore:
k2 =2=1
c(1 F) (
2 2ep)(2 2b )2 20
. (4)
Upon identifying the regions where r and r change signs, we can immediately get the
relation fork:

2.2 1D wave equation
For the sake of simplification, let us work with a 1D problem. The wave equation
2E(r) +k2E(r) =iJ(r) , (9)
is rewritten with
E(r) = z E(x) , (10a)
J(r) = z j0(x x0) , (10b)
to yield2
x2E(x) +k2E(x) =ij0(x x0) . (11)
The solution to this equation is
E(x) = eik|xx0| , (12)
where needs to be determined. From Eq. (12), we write:
1. First derivative:E(x)
x =ik
x2|x x0| eik|xx0| . (13)
2. Second derivative:
2E(x)
x2 =ik
2
x2|x x0| eik|xx0| +(k2)(
x2|x x0|)2 eik|xx0|
=k2 eik|xx0| + 2ik(x x0) . (14)
Therefore:
2E(x)
x2 +k2E(x) =2ik(x x0) = 2i k0n (x x0) . (15)
Comparing Eq. (11) to Eq. (15), we get
=j02k0n
=j002
rn
, (16)
so that finally the solution is:
E(x) =j002
rn
eik|xx0| . (17)
If we now compute the power supplied by the current Jto the volume:
P=12
V
E J dV = 0j20

rn
>0 . (18)
The source must, on average, do positive work on the field. Yet, in LH regime, we have

Finally, we can also write the Efield as:
E(x, t) =2
j0ei(k0n|xx0|t) . (19)
Thus, plane waves appear to propagate from and + to the source, seemingly runningbackward in time. Yet, the work done on the field is positive so clearly the energy propagates
outward from the source.

At this point, we know that n

12 3.1 Lossless case (e= m = 0), mp = p
For simplicity, we can study the lossy case for e = m amd mo = 0 (although we dont
really simulate the same medium, the fundamental behavior is similar, and simpler to carry out
mathematically).
The model therefore reads:
r =r =2 2p+ i
2 +i . (23)
We compute:
rr =
2 2p+i2 +i
=[2 2p+ i] [2 i]
4 +22
=2(2 2p) +22 +i2p
4 +22 .
(24a)
The real part is given by:
{rr}=2[2 (2p 2)]
4 +22 . (25)
Losses have the effect to lower the plasma frequency to
p =
2p 2 . (26)
In addition, we also see that if is very large, the plasma effect will completey dissapear
(cf. dispersion relation for = 10e10 rad/s).
