The Field Confinement, Narrow Transmission Resonances, and Green Function of a Multilayered Microsphere with Metamaterial Defects

Figure 3

(Color online) The change of the spectrum shape of transmission coefficient for alternating 15-layered spherical stack containing LH and SiO2 layers (spherical number is ) without and with a defect: (a) strictly periodic case; (b) the stack with a defect LH placed in the center of the stack. The frequency range in both panels corresponds to the frequency range where the real part of LH refraction index is negative; see the inset of Figure 2(b).
