Abstract
Dissipative tunneling was studied with electromagnetic waves. Experiments were carried out with undersized waveguides loaded with a lossy dielectric medium which corresponds to a complex potential barrier. With increasing dissipation the Hartman effect disappears, i.e., the traversal time becomes dependent on barrier length. The results are in agreement with a recent phase time approach on complex tunneling.
