1. A method for controlling the effective index of refraction of an array of coupled closed-loop resonators for incident electromagnetic energy at a selected frequency, each closed-loop resonator having a time-dependent resonance at a resonance line center frequency ω
-
c substantially at the selected frequency and having a respective set of electromagnetic parameters, and a Q-factor, the method comprising;
modifying the closed-loop resonators'"'"' resonances in response to an input signal, thereby changing the effective index of refraction of the array of coupled closed-loop-resonators.

Abstract
An electromagnetically responsive element includes sets of arrangements of self-resonant bodies, such as atoms or quantum dots that form an effective dielectric constant, typically at or near a resonance.
