Design of double-negative metamaterials using single-layer plasmonic structures
arXiv:0809.2429
Abstract
We propose a design for optical-frequency double-negative metamaterials (DMNs) in which the unit cell is formed by a single-layer plasmonic inclusion. By introducing some properly arranged stepwise modulations onto the inclusions, the effective permittivity and permeability of the material may become simultaneously negative due to the excitation of higher-order multipole plamonic (electrostatic) resonances. The approach opens a possibility to construct low-loss optical DNMs with great engineering simplicity.
