Characteristics of the nonlinear left­-handed waveguide

Abstract: 

The modes of the planar dielectric waveguide made from nonlinear metamaterials with both negative permittivity and permeability are investigated. The dependencies of the propagation coefficients of the guided mode on the transmitted power are studied. The fields distributions are calculated for the systems with variable permittivity and permeability profiles. It is shown that in such systems a drastic increase in the field magnitudes may occur.
