title: Complex band structure of nanostructured metal-dielectric metamaterials.
abstract: We study complex eigenmodes of layered metal-dielectric metamaterials. Varying losses from weak to realistic, we analyze band structure of the metamaterial and clarify effect of losses on its intrinsic electromagnetic properties. The structure operates in a regime with infinite numbers of eigenmodes, whereas we analyze dominant ones.
