5. In a 2D square lattice of dielectric rods, modes having their E field along the rods are substantially more concentrated inside the rods and therefore experience the high E of the rods. On the other hand, modes having their E field in the periodicity plane experience average E smaller than that along the rods; hence the anisotropy in effective ε. Our frequency domain simulations (not discussed here) show that in the low-frequency limit, the metamaterial indeed has effective ε = (1.23,1.23,2.43).

7. 1 would work equally well. However, the structure that we analyze in Fig. 3 offers somewhat more flexibility in the material choice, in the sense that equal anisotropic ε and μ do not have to occur in the same material.
