title: Surface plasmon polariton in visible frequency of a nano-slab consisting of left-handed material.
abstract: We have investigated the behavior of surface plasmon polariton of a left-handed material (LHM) nano-slab. The LHM slab is chosen to operate in visible region, that is, it has negative permittivity and permeability within a frequency range of visible light. The dispersion curves of the LHM slab and the corresponding attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectra have been calculated in this article.
