2.1 Negative optical index material

As early as 1967, V.G. Veselago showed theoretically that a medium with simultaneously negative permittivity and permeability had a negative refractive index . This negative index arose from the electromagnetic refraction properties observed at the interface between a positive-index medium with relative permittivity εr
