Abstract: We introduce a simple and convenient method to stack artificial units for metamaterials in the third dimension. Cut-wires and cut-wire pairs are placed above a metal film so that image cut-wires or cut-wire pairs are induced by the metal mirror when illuminated by light [1], which is equivalent to stacking two or four layers of cut-wires. The optical properties of cut-wires and cut-wire pairs above metal mirrors are investigated experimentally and numerically. The resonant plasmon modes are interpreted utilizing directly stacked cut-wire structures according to the method of plasmon hybridization [2]. Furthermore, the frequencies of different plasmon modes as a function of cut-wire separation are explored numerically. This method should pave the road towards a fundamental understanding of the electronic and optical properties of 3D metamaterials.
