Abstract

In this paper, we show the possibility of rebuilding of the structure of wave vector surface and the appearance of its local parts with near zero curvature for epsilon-near-zero hyperbolic metamaterials. It is established that when evanescent Bessel light beam falls in special directions related to these local parts, it is transformed into propagating one. The features of transformed beam are analyzed.
