Abstract

We report on the manufacturing and on the optical properties of 2D and 3D
metallic metamaterials. In the plasmonic picture, the resonances can be
well understood. Coupling several metamaterial resonators together,
splitting of resonances can occur. The plasmon hybridization picture helps
to understand this behavior. Symmetric and antisymmetric modes are
identified. Coupled metamaterial resonators with more than two
constituents show intriguing behaviour that can be well explained in a
harmonic oscillator picture in a molecular physics framework.
