Abstract：

We investigate the dynamic characteristics of metamaterial systems, such as the temporal coherence gain of the superlens, the causality limitation on the ideal cloaking systems, the relaxation process and essential elements in the dispersive cloaking systems, and the extending of the working frequency range of cloaking systems. The key point of our study is the physical dispersive properties of metamaterials, which are well-known to be intrinsically strongly dispersive. With physical dispersion, new physical pictures can be obtained for the waves propagating inside metamaterial, such as the “group retarded time” for waves inside the superlens and cloak, the causality limitation on real metamaterial systems, and the essential elements for design optimization. Therefore, we believe the dynamic study of metamaterials will be an important direction for further research. All theoretical derivations and conclusions are demonstrated by powerful finite-difference time-domain simulations.

Key words： metamaterial dynamic dispersion

36	In our source frequency range, the index range is about - 1 - 0.0029i±(0.006+ 10^-6i), so the focal length defference and reflection are very small.
37	The “group velocity” is not a well-defined value if the working frequency ω₀ is near the resonant frequency ω_a of the NIM. But the GRT is still well-defined.
