    "abstract": "We investigate nonlinear transmission in a layered structure consisting of a\nslab of positive index material (PIM) with Kerr-type nonlinearity and a\nsub-wavelength layer of linear negative index material (NIM) sandwiched between\nsemi-infinite linear dielectrics. We find that a thin layer of NIM leads to\nsignificant changes in the hysteresis width when the nonlinear slab is\nilluminated at an angle near that of total internal reflection. Unidirectional\ndiode-like transmission with enhanced operational range is demonstrated. These\nresults may be useful for NIMs characterization and for designing novel NIMs\nbased devices.",
