+Introduction
4+Negative Refractive Index
V. G. Veslago (1968) Negative permittivity and negative permeability
Real index of refraction Electric resonance in material Strong magnetic resonance in material
Metals exhibit negative permittivity belowcharacteristic plasma frequency
Requires electric resonance andstrong magnetic resonance
No negative refractive index material in nature

+Method & Results
11+Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD): MEEP Numerical method in time domain Calculates E field and H field in every point of
the computational domain as they evolve in time Can specify materials
Wide range of frequencies can be explored at once
