摘要：

A plano-concave lens with negative index of refraction has been designed and fabricated. Such lenses have been postulated for many years, but only recently has their realization been made possible through improved simulation and fabrication procedures. We report here the simulation, fabrication, and performance of such a lens. The lens images the source field and reproduces the results of standard Gaussian optics. The curved lens with negative index of refraction in the microwave frequency region of the electromagnetic spectrum has been compared to a plano-convex Macor positive index of refraction lens having the same radius of curvature.
