Here we apply the optical nanocircuit concepts to design and analyze in detail a three-dimensional (3-D) plasmonic nanotransmission line network that may act as a negative-refraction broadband metamaterial at infrared and optical frequencies. After discussing the heuristic concepts at the basis of our theory, we show full-wave analytical results of the expected behavior of such materials, which show increased bandwidth and relative robustness to losses. The possibility and constraints of getting a 3-D fully isotropic response is also explored and conditions for minimal losses and increased bandwidth are discussed. Full-wave analytical results for some design examples employing realistic plasmonic materials at infrared and optical frequencies are also presented, and a case of sub-wavelength imaging system using a slab of this material is numerically investigated.
