Abstract For this article, a simple design procedure based on effective‐media analysis (including higher‐order multipoles), simple optimization, full‐wave numerical simulations, and a postprocessing retrieval algorithm is used to synthesize a negative‐index metamaterial based on a single‐species cubic array immersed in a polaritonic host. In order to verify the predicted performance based on effective media and ultimately validate the design methodology, a full‐wave massively‐parallel numerical simulation for a “bulk” (5 layer thick) sample is performed.
