We show that this structure does not lead to a left-handed medium when it is embedded in a matrix with a negative μ, but that resonators in a medium with a negative E do form a left-handed medium in the correct range of frequencies. © 2005 Optical Society of America. %G English %L hal-00437977 %U https://hal.science/hal-00437977 %~ UNIV-TLN %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ GES %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM1-UM2
