Features of Generation of Evanescent Bessel Light Beams in the Structures Containing a Metamaterial Layer

Abstract

Based on the matrix method, a theory of generation of evanescent Bessel light beams (BLBs) into the structure containing a metamaterial layer is developed. The exact solution is presented of the problem of tunneling vector BLBs (TE and TM modes and their linear superposition) through the layer surrounded by various dielectric media in the conditions of total internal reflection on its borders. The behavior of energy fluxes both inside the layer and in ambient media is investigated.
