An anisotropic negative refractive index medium operated at multiple-angle incidences

Demonstration of a Three-dimensional Negative Index Medium Operated at Multiple-angle Incidences by Monolithic Metallic Hemispherical Shells

We design and construct a three-dimensional (3D) negative index medium (NIM) composed of gold hemispherical shells to supplant an integration of a split-ring resonator and a discrete plasmonic wire for both negative permeability and permittivity at THz gap. With the proposed highly symmetric gold hemispherical shells, the negative index is preserved at multiple incident angles ranging from 0° t...

Negative refractive index metamaterials

a negative index of refraction over a band of microwave frequencies1. This demonstration of a previously unexploited electromagnetic (EM) property proved the importance of engineered materials and has resulted in an extraordinary amount of continued development by scientists working in optics, electromagnetism, physics, engineering, and materials science. Experimental results revealing new phen...

Negative refractive index characteristics of a uniaxial anisotropic μ-negative slab

Negative refractive index characteristics of a uniaxial anisotropic slab with a negative component of the permeability tensor are first confirmed. A two-dimensional array of metallic spirals is fabricated on a dielectric substrate and the wave propagation guided by the structure is measured by near-field measurements at 4.5 GHz band. The ω-β relation is obtained by the measured phase distributi...
