Abstract

On the basis of paraxial beam propagation theory in indefinite media, the effective refraction index for both of the two types of polarized electromagnetic wave, TE and TM waves, are introduced. According to the definition of effective refraction index, we obtain the conditions that paraxial beams pass through the indefinite media. We propose to employ a slab of indefinite media to construct a polarizer or polarizing beam splitter by choosing appropriate anisotropic parameters. Under certain conditions, the indefinite media slab exhibits polarization-selective focusing effect.
