Abstract

We study the transmission properties of a nonlinear peri- odic structure containing alternating slabs of a nonlinear right-handed material and a linear left-handed material. We find that the transmission associated with the zero-averaged refractive-index gap exhibits a bista- ble characteristic that is relatively insensitive to incident angles. This is in contrast to the nonlinear behavior of the usual Bragg gap. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
