摘要
We present the design of a dual-band left-handed metamaterial with fishnet structure in the terahertz regime. Its left-handed properties are described by the retrieved effective electromagnetic parameters. We introduce an equivalent circuit which offers a theoretical explanation for the left-handed behavior of the dual-band fishnet metamaterial, and investigate its losses receiving- higher figure of mcrit, The design is beneficial to the development of frequency agile and broadband THz materials and devices＇. The dual-band fishnet metamaterial can be extended to infrared and optical frequency ranges by regulating the structural parameters.
