Abstract

We demonstrate a flexible thin film zero refractive index optical metamaterial with matched impedance to free space and low absorption loss at 1.55 μm. The metallo-dielectric multilayer structure with fishnet geometry was optimized by a genetic algorithm. The fabrication process and characterization approach are described. The experiment results agree well with the theoretical predictions, showing an effective index of n_eff = 0.072 + 0.51i and an impedance of Z_eff/Z₀ = 1.009-0.021i.
