Frequency Extension of the Negative Index Materials (FENIM)

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking Foundation for Research and Technology, Hellas (FORTH) as follows: The expected results include full understanding of the role of the periodicity on the negative index behavior. Exploitation of this understanding for optimization of Left Handed Materials (LHM) for different functionalities. (b) Negative Index Materials (NIM) operating in the THz regime and upwards. Determination of the frequency limits of the NIM behavior and understanding of the physical mechanism for these limits. Design, modeling, and, possible fabrication and characterization of negative index structures operating in the highest determined frequency limits. Deliverables: Reports on the results (a) and (b) mentioned above, at the end of the project, and interim reports documenting progress.
