Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The negative refractive material is receiving much attention recently because of its many peculiar features, especially the anomalous refraction, compared with the regular material. A detailed explanation of the anomalous refraction in material with a negative refractive index using the Huygens principle is presented. The differences of the design of optical devices of the negative refractive material and that of regular material are also analyzed.
