    Abstract

    We study experimentally propagation of electromagnetic waves through a slab of uniaxial magnetic metamaterial. We observe a range of novel phenomena including partial focusing and splitting into multiple transmitted beams. We demonstrate that while some of these experimentally observed effects can be described within the approximation of an effective medium, a deeper understanding of the experimental results requires a rigorous study of internal eigenmodes of the lattice of resonators.
