Abstract

Based on Maxwell's equations and Mie theory, strong sub-wavelength artificial magnetic and electric dipole resonances can be excited within dielectric resonators, and their resonant frequencies can be tailored simply by scaling the size of the dielectric resonators. Therefore, in this work we hybridize commercially available zirconia and alumina structures to harvest their individual artificial magnetic and electric response simultaneously, presenting a negative refractive index medium (NRIM). Comparing with the conventional NRIM constructed by metallic structures, the demonstrated all-dielectric NRIM possesses low-loss and high-symmetry advantages, thus benefiting practical applications in communication components, perfect lenses, invisible cloaking and other novel electromagnetic devices.
