Diffraction gratings of isotropic negative-phase velocity materials

Diffraction of electromagnetic plane waves by the gratings made by periodically corrugating the exposed planar boundaries of homogeneous, isotropic, linear dielectric-magnetic half-spaces is examined. The phase velocity vector in the diffracting material can be either co-parallel or anti-parallel to...
