Abstract

In this paper, the chevronic silver film with thickness of 230±5 nm is fabricated using bideposition technique at the deposition angle of 86°. Chevronic silver film that consists of the top and bottom rods is deposited by rotating the substrate about its normal during the deposition. The equivalent refractive indices n and equivalent relative impedances η for p-polarized (the electric filed is parallel to the bottom rods) and s-polarized lights are measured by walk-off interferometer. The real part of the equivalent refractive index and the equivalent permeability of the film are negative at the wavelength of 639 nm.
