The dispersion relation for plane waves in uniaxial metamaterials with indefinite dielectric tensors and scalar positive permeability is theoretically investigated. It is found, that the isofrequency surfaces of the plane extraordinary waves have a hyperbolic shape which allows the propagation of waves with infinitely long wave vectors. As an example a metallodielectric multilayer was considered and the dispersion relations were determined using an effective medium approximation and an analytically exact Bloch wave calculation. The extraordinary waves in this structure are identified as multilayer plasmons and the validity of the effective medium approximation is examined.read more

Subwavelength discrete solitons in nonlinear metamaterials.
TL;DR: This work presents the first study of subwavelength discrete solitons in nonlinear metamaterials: nanoscaled periodic structures consisting of metal and nonlinear dielectric slabs, and expects these phenomena to inspire fundamental studies as well as potential applications of non linear metammaterials, particularly in subwa wavelength nonlinear optics.

Physical nature of volume plasmon polaritons in hyperbolic metamaterials.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that high-k propagating waves in HMMs are volume plasmon polaritons, formed by coupling of short-range surface plAsmon polariton excitations in the individual metal layers.
