In a zero-average refractive index metamaterial the light propagation is forbidden and a narrow full photonic bandgap is open in correspondence of the frequency where it vanishes and the refractive index is averaged over the volume. However, it should be underlined that Fabry–Pérot resonances can open a propagation state inside such a particular type of bandgap. Based on a photonic crystal exhibiting a negative refractive index, it was found that such Fabry–Pérot resonant states allow images transmission with subwavelength details.
