Abstract
We review the studies conducted in our group concerning electromagnetic properties of metamaterials and photonic crystals with negative effective index of refraction. In particular, we demonstate the true left handed behavior of a 2D composite metamaterial, by analyzing the electric and magnetic response of the material components systematically. The negative refraction, subwavelength focusing, and flat lens phenomena using left handed metamaterials and photonic crystals are also presented.
