    Abstract

    We discuss unusual features of wave propagation in periodic arrays of slabs made of transparent left-handed meta-materials with simultaneously negative dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability, and demonstrate the possibility of light confinement due to the appearance of complete photonic band-gaps in such one-dimensional structures.
