Abstract :
In this paper, the authors present an impedance-matched low loss infrared zero index metamaterials (ZIM) with a wide field-of-view. The ZIM structure is optimized by a genetic algorithm combined with a generalized inversion method capable of retrieving the effective anisotropic constitutive parameters of the metamaterial with its angular response considered.
