In this present article, we studied the transmission, refraction and focusing properties of one, two and three dimensional labyrinth based left‐handed metamaterials. We demonstrated that the proper periodic arrangement of labyrinth structures and wires results in left‐handed transmission. By using a two dimensional labyrinth based left‐handed slab, it is shown that it is possible to image the field emitted from source in sub‐wavelength detail. Moreover, we demonstrated the focusing and negative refraction of electromagnetic waves by a three dimensional labyrinth based left‐handed slab. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
