Abstract :
We propose a novel green-light plasmonic negative index metamaterial (NIM). Underlying experimental data for the metal layers and the fabrication feasibility based on electron-beam lithography render the structure arguably the most promising in the literature to further scale the operating frequency of the NIMs to new record low visible wavelengths.
