An improved fishnet three-dimensional metamaterial with multiband left-handed characteristics at terahertz frequencies

We present the design of a multiband left-handed three-dimensional (3D) metamaterial based on improved fishnet structure at terahertz frequencies. The design realizes a three-dimensional material by mechanical stacking of multiple layers. The electromagnetic properties of the metamaterial have been investigated by numerical simulation. The results show that simultaneously negative values of permittivity, permeability and refractive index are found around the frequencies of 0.73, 0.85 and 1.12 THz for the electromagnetic wave normal incidence. The proposed metamaterial with independent polarization and compact effect offers a way to develop THz 3D materials and devices suitable for multifrequencies.     

Numerical simulations of terahertz double-negative metamaterial with isotropic-like fishnet structure

The isotropic-like fishnet metamaterial with an array of cross-shaped holes penetrating through the multiple layers has been numerically studied in the terahertz regime. Its left-handed properties are described by the retrieved effect media parameters and validated by the simulation of a wedge-shaped model. The influences of the various geometrical parameters on the electromagnetic response and the left-handed performance are investigated. This isotropic-like fishnet metamaterial has the advantage of lower losses and higher transmission and holds potential for further applications at higher frequencies.     

Compact multiband left-handed metamaterial at terahertz frequencies

We design and analyze a novel multiband left-handed metamaterial based on a fishnet-like structure at terahertz (THz) frequencies.The metamaterial exhibits simultaneous negative refractions around the frequencies of 0.48,1.05,and 1.19 THz for the electromagnetic (EM) wave normal incidence,and around the frequencies of 0.20,0.79,and 1.13 THz for parallel incidence.The simulated results verify the left-handed properties.A particularly important observation is the capability of the proposed metamaterial with a single geometrical structure to display multifrequency operations in a unit cell.The compact metamaterial is a major step toward the miniaturization of THz materials and devices suitable for multifrequencies.     

Multiple omnidirectional resonances in a metamaterial sandwich

Multiple omnidirectional resonances are found in a sandwich structure consisting of a left-handed metamaterial cavity and two single-negative-permittivity reflection walls. These resonances appear because the phase shift of left-handed metamaterial can cancel the reflection phase shift of single-negative-permittivity metamaterials at every incidence angle. By using such particular structure, a kind of structure possessing multiple omnidirectional resonances in both polarizations has been designed. In addition, issues associated with energy loss are discussed.     

Dual-band polarization-independent sub-terahertz fishnet metamaterial

A dual-band and polarization-independent fishnet metamaterial for the sub-THz frequency range is proposed and investigated. Dual-band modes have two resonances in which the first one is fixed as a left-handed mode and the second one can be arranged as a left-handed or single-negative mode. We select the character of second resonance by the choice of substrate properties. The metamaterial features of the structure are analyzed using the scattering data and confirmed by applying Kramers-Kronig relations. The characteristic features are also verified by the current distribution at the inner metallic surfaces of the structure. The influence of substrate modifications is studied and the effect of this change on resonances is discussed. The design of a dual-band and polarization-independent sub-THz metamaterial presented here can serve as a model and guide to realize tunable fishnet metamaterials for other frequency regimes.     

Experimental verification of negative refraction in a double cross metamaterial

We report on microwave experiments with a metamaterial composed of pairs of metallic crosses. The transmission properties of the structure show a left-handed transmission band at frequencies around 10.2 GHz. The validity of the negative effective index of refraction is verified by a Snell’s law refraction experiment performed on a wedge-shaped sample of the metamaterial. A second measurement of a similar wedge made from blank FR4 boards is done for reference. The results of the measurements show positive refraction over the whole measured frequency band for the FR4 wedge as well as the refraction of the incident radiation to negative angles within the designated left-handed frequency band for the metamaterial sample.     

Influence of the dielectric-spacer thickness on the left-handed behavior of fishnet metamaterial structure

We investigated the effects of dielectric-spacer thickness on the left-handed behavior of a symmetric fishnet-like metamaterial working at microwave frequency. The left-handed behavior was demonstrated and characterized by the standard retrieval procedure. The thickness of spacer was varied in order to examine the electromagnetic response of the fishnet structure. It was found that the changed thickness can cause different pictures of the left-handed behavior based on the electric-magnetic correlation.
