Abstract
In this paper, the transmission of a Gaussian beam passing through a slab made of a one-dimensional left-handed meta-material (1D LHM) is studied. The analytical solution of the electric and the magnetic fields inside and outside the slab are given. The calculation of the power flow of the beam predicts that in the negative pass band of the 1D LHM, there exist different directions of lateral displacements. Such phenomenon is further verified by experiment.
