Abstract

We demonstrate focusing of a plane microwave by a plano-concave lens fabricated from a photonic crystal (PhC) having negative refractive index and left-handed electromagnetic properties. An inverse experiment, in which a plane wave is produced from a source placed at the focal point of the lens is also reported. A frequency dependent negative refractive index, is obtained for the lens from the experimental data which matches well with that determined from band structure calculations.
