    "abstract": "It is reported that when a light beam travels through a slab of left-handed\nmedium in the air, the lateral shift of the transmitted beam can be negative as\nwell as positive. The necessary condition for the lateral shift to be positive\nis given. The validity of the stationary-phase approach is demonstrated by\nnumerical simulations for a Gaussian-shaped beam. A restriction to the slab\u0027s\nthickness is provided that is necessary for the beam to retain its profile in\nthe traveling. It is shown that the lateral shift of the reflected beam is\nequal to that of the transmitted beam in the symmetric configuration.",
