The extra modes within the PP gap independent of the number of layers. Increasing the relative layer width b/a, one may shift the extra PP modes. a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Article history: The transmission properties of electromagnetic waves through a one-dimensional layered system con- Received 8 January 2015 taining alternate layers of air and a uniaxial anisotropic left-handed material are investigated.
