Abstract

This paper studies the far field refraction problem in negative refractive index material with loss of energy, which is a remaining problem in E. Stachura, Nonlinear Anal. 2017;157:76-103. The analysis is divided into two cases according to the relative refractive index $\kappa$, that is, $\kappa<-1$ and $-1<\kappa<0$. For each case, we use the Minkowski method to establish the existence of the weak solution when the target measure is either discrete or a finite Radon measure. Eventually, the inequality involving a Monge-Amp\`ere type operator satisfied by the solution of the problem is derived, which is useful to understand this complex optical phenomenon.
