Tunneling time in the case of frustrated total reflection
Abstract
The tunneling time is here investigated by means of an electromagnetic model, for a system where a gap, between two parallel planes, acts as a classically-forbidden region for an impinging pulse with incidence angle larger than the critical angle. In all cases of frustrated total reflection we obtain a superluminal behavior both for phase and group delays.
