Materials that support strong, tunable magnetic and electric properties in the
terahertz (THz) frequency range have a wide range of applications including sue in:
security screening, medical imaging, bio-sensing, remote sensing, metrology, and
spectroscopy. The main challenge in assembling metamaterials (MTM) aimed at higher
frequency applications is the difficulty of the fabrication process. This is because
metamaterials are composed of inclusions that are scaled down in size to operate at high
frequencies. Consequently, a model of spilt-ring resonator(SRR)/wire MTM is proposed
which can create a double-negative (DNG) passband approximately two and a half times
higher than those of the conventional SRR/wire structures, by using the same dimensions.
Increasing the size of the repeating structure will significantly improve the ease of
fabrication when we deal with devices at high frequencies. In this paper, we demonstrate
the theoretical design and experimental validations of DNG metamaterials in the THz
regime. Furthermore, a novel structure is presented, which demonstrates not only DNG
properties but also chirality. The form of handedness sensitive rotation of the polarization
state and elliptization of visible light diffracted from the chiral structures are properties
attractive to the optoelectronic technologies such as photonic bandgap crystals and
microsculptured films.
