Transverse electric field (Ez) distribution (a) and its evolution ((b, c)) along the proposed CSP structure. Left or right parts of (a) corresponds to point A or B as marked in Fig. 1b indicating a forward or a backward wave propagation, respectively. (b) and (c) demonstrate the field evolution of the forward and backward wave corresponding to point A and B as marked in Fig.1b. The black dashed line denotes the phase front in the field evolution and the red arrow in (b) and (c) indicates the direction of EM power flow.
