Abstract

This paper presents theoretical discussions and computational numerical results obtained from the study of extreme values of the speed of light in metal/dielectric composite, where the cylindrical nanoinclusions are uniformly distributed in the linear dielectric host matrix. The results testify that, within our approach, at the region of anomalous dispersion, light can travel with a group velocity greater than the speed of light in vacuum. In a composite with passive host matrix, the light pulse is absorbed within a very small distance. The problem of absorption can be reduced considerably by using an active host matrix.
