Multiple Pass‐Band Optical Left‐Handed Metamaterials Based on Random Dendritic Cells

Abstract Left‐handed metamaterials (LHMs) composed of random dendritic cells demonstrate a multi‐band resonance and negative refractive index. A nano‐assembly approach is established to fabricate optical LHMs. Random nanostructures of silver dendritic cells are prepared and further fabricated into a sandwich‐like structure with a dielectric medium. The dentritic nano‐assembled configuration reveals a multi‐band resonance and a high intensity of the pass‐band at infrared frequencies, and can be facilely and cheaply prepared on a large‐scale of effective area.
