Abstract
Metamaterials are engineered materials that are designed to manipulate light in ways that are not possible with materials taken directly from nature [1,2,3,4,5,6]. In their designs metamaterial have a synthetic structure introduced into them at subwavelength scales. As a result, for the wavelengths they manipulate, the metamaterials appear to be homogeneous media. A homogeneous medium , however, with previously unseen optical properties. In the development of this new class of optical materials, metamaterials have been studied in the frequency regions between the terahertz and optical regions. The essential limitation on the wavelengths of their applications being the ability to design and implement an appropriate subwavelength pattern of synthetic features which provides the source of the metamaterial response.
