摘要：

The possibility of the backward waves and negative refractive indices of the gyrotropic chiral materials is studied, and the impedances of the eigenmodes are derived. Since the gyrotropic parameters in the permittivity and permeability tensors favour the realization of the negative refractive index in the gyrotropic chiral material, the negatively refracting medium can be achieved even far off the resonances of the permittivity and permeability. A potential effect of the field quantization in a compact subwavelength cavity resonator containing the gyrotropic chiral material is suggested.
