The material [1] discussed in this section is different from the left-handed chiral material discussed in Section 8.10. The qualifier “left-handed” is explained below.
Section 2.1 discussed the propagation of the uniform plane wave in a sourceless isotropic medium. It is shown that the unit vectors in the directions of the electric field E, magnetic field H, and the direction of propagation k are mutually orthogonal in the right-handed sense:
Such a material is considered a right-handed material, in contrast to an artificial material called the “left-handed material” [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]. In this artificial material, , and are mutually orthogonal ...
