Left-handed band in an electromagnetic metamaterial induced by sub-wavelength multiple scattering

2019 
Due to the deep sub-wavelength unit cell in metamaterials, the quasi-static approximation is usually employed to describe the propagation. By making pairs of resonators, we highlight that multiple scattering also occurs at this scale and results in the existence of a dipolar resonance, which leads to a negative index of refraction when we consider several resonators. We experimentally verify the possibility of obtaining a negative index of refraction in periodic metamaterials in two different ways and eventually demonstrate the subwavelength recovery of several point sources in both cases.
