dc.description.abstractNegative refraction is known to occur in materials that simultaneously possess a negative electric permittivity and magnetic permeability; hence they are termed negative index materials. However, there are no known natural materials that exhibit a negative index of refraction. In large part, interest in these materials is due to speculation that they could be used as perfect lenses with superresolution. We propose a new way of achieving negative refraction with currently available technology, based on transparent, metallodielectric multilayer structures. The advantage of these structures is that both tunability and transmission (well above 50%) can be achieved in the visible wavelength regime. We demonstrate both negative refraction and sub-wavelength resolution in these structures. Our findings point to a simpler way to fabricate a material that exhibits negative refraction. This opens up an entirely new path not only for negative refraction, but also to expand the exploration of wave propagation effects in metals.en_US
