Abstract

We study critical coupling (CC) in a system of two coupled negative index medium (NIM) layers leading to near-total suppression of both reflection and transmission at specified frequencies. The tunability of the CC frequency is demonstrated by varying the angle of incidence retaining the full causal response for the NIM materials.
