Abstract: We consider short pulse propagation in nonlinear metamaterials characterized by a weak Kerr-type nonlinearity in their dielectric response. In the frequency "band gaps" (where linear electromagnetic waves are evanescent) with linear effective permittivity epsilon<0 and permeability mu>0, we derive two short-pulse equations (SPEs) for the high- and low-frequency band gaps. The structure of the solutions of the SPEs is also briefly discussed, and connections with the soliton solutions of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation are presented.
