Abstract
We have studied the reflection and transmission of traveling and evanescent plane waves, incident upon an ENZ material. The Fresnel reflection and transmission coefficients were obtained in the ENZ limit. For a p polarized incident wave, the transmission coefficient vanishes, except very close to normal incidence. The reflection coefficient is -1 for both traveling and evanescent waves. It is shown, however, that there is a finite electric field in the ENZ material, even though the transmission coefficient is zero. This field is either linearly polarized or circularly polarized. The magnetic field in the medium for p polarized illumination is zero, and therefore there can be no energy flow through the material. For s polarization, the magnetic field in the medium is circularly polarized, and energy can flow through the material, parallel to the interface.
