Abstract:
1. A method for producing meta-materials, the method comprising: applying a first array of electromagnetically reactive patterns of conductive material to a first non-conducting surface, wherein the first array of electromagnetically reactive patterns includes at least one of a split ring resonator pattern, a square split ring resonator pattern, and a swiss roll pattern; applying a second array of electromagnetically reactive patterns of conductive material to a second non-conducting surface, wherein the second array of electromagnetically reactive patterns includes a thin parallel wire pattern; joining each of the first and second surfaces together such that the first and second arrays of electromagnetically reactive patterns are commonly oriented to form a block; dividing the block between elements of the first and second arrays of electromagnetically reactive patterns along a plane approximately perpendicular to the first and second surfaces to form a plurality of slices; rotating at least one of the slices to present a third surface; and applying a third array of electromagnetically reactive patterns of conductive material to the third surface.
