We have shown that a single layer of a 3D Zero Index Material (ZIM) has
omnidirectional reflection properties. In the range between the electric
plasma frequency and the magnetic plasma frequency, ZIM reflect radiation
for all angles of incidence and polarization with reflectivities of
.about.99%. In addition, with increasing angles of incidence, the
reflecting band does not shift in frequency but actually widens. The
operational bandwidth can be 100% or greater by increasing the separation
between the electric and magnetic plasma frequencies. We have also shown
that in the spectral region that allows the omnidirectional gap, ZIM can
be used as the cladding of hollow waveguides with better performance than
traditional hollow waveguides.
