Reply to comment by A.V. Kildishev et al. [physics/0609234] and V. M.   Shalaev et al. [Opt. Lett. 30, 3345 (2005)]
  We discuss the claims of the comment at arXiv.org:physics/0609234. We show that A.V. Kildishev et al. misread our method of extracting of optical constants of nanostructured films. The theoretical calculations performed in the comment appear to be in a direct contradiction with an experiment. We demonstrate that the theoretical calculations suggested being free from ambiguities (V.M. Shalaev et al., Opt. Lett. 30, 3345 (2005)) require an additional experimental verification, which can be performed by observing physical effects of negative refraction.
