Nous donnons une revue des propriétés électromagnétiques des méta-matériaux conçus pour fonctionner dans le domaine infrarouge, en tenant compte de leurs applications potentielles. Nous présentons des dispositifs formés de résonateurs à anneaux métalliques fendus et des lignes de transmission à charge périodique, en insistant sur les aspects de guidage des ondes, sur les règles de design des structures et les techniques de caractérisation. Nous expliquons comment atteindre des fréquences de fonctionnement dans le moyen et lointain infrarouge en brisant des règles d'échelle, et en décrivant les challenges technologiques à résoudre, que l'on choisisse des solutions techniques avec des structures métal/diélectrique ou entièrement diélectriques.

We review the electromagnetic properties of metamaterials aimed at operating at infra-red wavelengths, keeping their potential applications in mind. Split ring resonators and periodically loaded transmission lines are considered with the main emphasis on the guide lines, design rules and characterization techniques. In this context, we address the various routes towards pushing up the operating frequency in the mid- and near- infrared region, with special attention on the breaking of scaling rules and on the technological challenges for metal and full dielectric approaches.
