On the possibility of superluminal energy propagation in a hyperbolic metamaterial of metal-dielectric layers

The energy propagation of electromagnetic fields in the effective medium of a one-dimensional photonic crystal consisting of dielectric and metallic layers is investigated. We show that the medium behaves like Drude and Lorentz medium, respectively, when the electric field is parallel and perpendicu...
