title: Transparency induced by coupled resonances in disordered metamaterials.
abstract: We propose a scheme to induce transparency in one-dimensional disordered multilayers which are composed of negative permittivity and negative permeability metamaterials. First, analytical expressions for transparency condition are derived exactly, providing us a picture that complete tunneling in such kind of multiple-resonance system can be achieved if exponentially growing waves can compensate exponentially decaying waves. Second, a compensating method is used to realize this idea, and both simulations and experiments are performed in the microwave regime to confirm the theoretical analysis. Last, we have a discussion on how the coupling of resonances affects the transport properties of samples.
