18. For frequencies larger than the plasma frequency, it may be possible that a plane wave propagating in air excites two propagating modes in the metamaterial and thus originates two refracted beams. However in the long wavelength regime considered here, ββp, only a single propagating mode can be excited, and thus there is a single refracted beam.

20. In nonlocal media the Poynting vector can be explicitly calculated as S= S (0) + S (1), where S (0) = 1 2 Re { E× H} and the "high- frequency" component S (1) is such that Sl (1) =- ω ε0 4 Re { Eε̄ ̄ kl E }, (l=1,2,3) (Refs.). It is demonstrated in Ref. (pp. 65-67) that the Poynting vector is given by the product of the energy density and the group velocity.
