Abstract:
1. A structure having a negative refraction index comprising: a unit cell having a planar dielectric spacer having a first surface and a second surface, and a pair of wire segments; the planar dielectric spacer is a single dielectric layer; the planar dielectric spacer having a first length along a first axis and a second length along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis, the first axis and the second axis lying in a first plane of the planar dielectric spacer; and the pair of wire segments attached to the planar dielectric spacer, one of the pair of wire segments on the first surface of the planar dielectric spacer in a second plane parallel with the first plane of the planar dielectric spacer and the other of the pair of wire segments on the second surface of the planar dielectric spacer in a third plane parallel with the first plane and the second plane, each of the pair of wire segments having a third length along the second axis and third width along the first axis.
