Slow and stopped light in negative refractive index waveguides

This thesis investigates the behaviour of light in waveguides with cores composed of a negative refractive index material. The ability of these structures to drastically slow and even halt light pulses is studied. The Finite-Difference Time-Domain computational simulation method is used to simulate...
