Scattering of the Polarized Gaussian Beam on the Metamaterial Slab

Abstract

The scattering of Gaussian beam on the metamaterial slab with negative refractive index is considered. Modeling is based on the spectral decomposition of the beam field in plane waves. The effect of different parameters on the polarization characteristics of the electromagnetic field reflected from the metamaterial layer and transmitted through it is investigated. The possibility of control of the beam polarization is shown.
