Abstract

We provide an overview of the THz research in metallic and dielectric metamaterials. We introduce the appropriate length scales and averaging procedures to define effective metamaterial properties. A broader discussion of elaboration technologies and experimental determination of metamaterial properties is provided. Finally, we focus on applications aiming to achieve negative refractive index and active control of THz light.
