For the ease of public understanding, before technical solutions of the utility model are elaborated, first the substance of left-handed materials and photonic band gap structure is briefly introduced.
Left-handed materials (Left-Handed Material is called for short LHM) refers to that dielectric constant and magnetic permeability are the material of negative value simultaneously.Left-handed materials has the characteristic that is different from the right-handed material existing in nature.Leftward in material, electromagnetic electric field, magnetic field and wave vector form left hand relation.Electromagnetic wave is contrary with right-handed material in material leftward, has negative refraction, negative Qie Liankefu effect, anti-Doppler effect etc.
