We review experimental and theoretical studies performed on left-handed metamaterials (LHM). The metamaterials exhibit quiet unusual electromagnetic properties such as negative refraction, negative phase velocity, subwavelength focusing, subwavelength cavities and enhanced transmission. © 2009 SPIE.
