    abstract = "We use a variational method to study the problem of reflection of a guided mode from an abruptly terminated planar dielectric waveguide made of a metamaterial. The theory is illustrated by problems of abruptly terminated three-layer waveguides with piecewise-constant and variable permittivity profiles. Differences in the scattering characteristics for systems with metamaterials and conventional media are discussed. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc."
