28. For a theoretical calculation, Ωm / Ωe =2.5 is used in, Ωm / Ωe =7.5 is used in, and Ωm / Ωe ∼5 is used in. In our paper we use 0≤ Ωm2 / Ωe2 ≤8. However, for present fabrication technology, it is still difficult to achieve very large values of Ωm / Ωe and μ/ε since present metamaterials can only have a narrow band where μ>1 in optical frequency range.
