Abstract

Negative magnetic permeability of split ring resonator (SRR) is theoretically investigated in the visible light region. In our calculations, we considered the delay of the current inside the metal SRR in order to estimate the permeability of the SRR precisely. From the results, the silver SRR array with small capacitance exhibits negative permeability in all the visible range. The dependence of the permeability on the filling factor of the SRR elements is also discussed.
