bending of light to the same side of the surface normal, predicted for materials with both negative permittivity and negative permeability.

In optics, negative refraction refers to bending of light to the same side of the surface normal, predicted for materials with both negative permittivity and negative permeability. This meaning comes from Veselago (1968) in Soviet Physics Uspekhi.[1]
