Propagation properties for five-layer symmetric slab waveguides including left-handed materials

Abstract:

In this paper,we discussed a slab wave-guide of five layers,The core is a left-handed material,but the claddings are righthanded materials.A dispersion equation of TE modes is obtained by using Maxwell's equations,and some new dispersion characteristics are obtained based on the equation.
