摘要: Based on the ABCD matrix formalism, the propagation property of an Airy beam from right-handed material (RHM) to left-handed material (LHM) is investigated. The result shows that when the Airy beam propagates in the LHM, the intensity self-bending due to its propagation in the RHM can be compensated. In particular, if the propagation distance in the RHM is equal to that in the LHM and the refractive index of the LHM is nL =-1, the transverse intensity distribution of the Airy beam can return to its original state.
