  • Abstract
    We demonstrate the occurrence of a negative refractive index regime in the far infrared range, ~2.4-3 THz. This is achieved by using transmission and reflection measurements under normal incidence in one and three layers of a mum-scale metamaterial consisting of pairs of short-slabs and continuous wires, fabricated by a photolithography procedure.
