Abstract
In this work we consider an effect of surface inhomogeneities of left-handed materi- als on light reflection and refraction. It is shown that total internal reflection could be useful for investigation of surface optical characteristics of metamaterial. Scattering of refracted wave in the near-surface layer leads to existence of radiation propagating from the boundary to the point of observation. The angular distribution of the resulting radiation is derived and the opportunity of getting information about optical properties of metamaterial surface with help of this method is discussed.
