  1. Metamaterials Andrew Houck, Dave Kong, Matt Reynolds, Peter Eckley, J. Kong, Ike Chuang, Joe Jacobson

  2. Negative Index of Refraction M.C.K. Wiltshire, Science292: 60-61(2001)

  3. Potential Application: Focusing • Flat slab of metamaterial can act as a lens • Lack of axis allows lens to focus 2D and 3D images J.B. Pendry, Phys Rev Lett 85, 3966 (2000) M. Notomi, Phys Rev B 62, 10696 (2000)

  4. Manufacturing Negative  • Materials have negative permittivity slightly below the plasma frequency, which is typically in the visible spectrum in metals: • Periodic lattice of wires has reduced electron density, increased effective mass due to self induction  p ~ 10 GHz J.B. Pendry et al, Phys. Rev. Let. 76, 4773 (1996)

  5. Manufacturing Negative  • Create magnetic resonance with nonmagnetic materials • Use split ring resonator to get capacitive-inductive resonance • Strong resonance gives negative  J.B. Pendry et al, IEEE Trans. Microwave Theory Tech.47, 2075 (1999).

  6. Metamaterial • Resonators and wires on opposite sides of printed circuit board (PCB) • Cut PCB into strips and assemble into a 2D lattice with 6 mm cell size R.A. Shelby et al, Science 292, 77 (2001).

  7. Experimental Setup • Measure power spectrum as a function of angle R.A. Shelby et al, Science 292, 77 (2001).

  8. Future Directions Develop metamaterials that operate at different wavelengths Use microwave metamaterial to verify interesting properties experimentally, such as focusing
