Resolution of the conventional lens is limited to half the wavelength of the light source by
diffraction. In the conventional optical system, evanescent waves, which carry sub-diffraction …

Recent theory has predicted a superlens that is capable of producing sub–diffraction-limited
images. This superlens would allow the recovery of evanescent waves in an image via the …

The first general textbook to offer a complete overview of metamaterial theory and its
microwave applications Metamaterials with Negative Parameters represents the only unified …

Optical super-oscillations, first predicted in 1952 and observed in 2007, offer a promising
route to optical super-resolution imaging and show potential for manufacturing with light and …

It has been proposed that a planar silver layer could be used to project a super-resolution
image in the near field when illuminated near its plasma frequency [JB Pendry, Phys. Rev …

Diffraction is a natural phenomenon, which occurs when waves propagate or encounter an
obstacle. Diffraction is also a fundamental aspect of modern optics: all imaging systems are …

The authors analyze electromagnetic modes in multilayered nanocomposites and
demonstrate that the response of a majority of realistic layered structures is strongly affected …

Negative-index metamaterials are candidates for imaging objects with sizes smaller than a
half-wavelength. The authors report an impedance-matched, low loss negative-index …

Super-oscillatory optical lenses have recently been shown to achieve subwavelength
focusing and have been used for super-resolution imaging. However, the subwavelength …

We demonstrate that the optical response of a single Au bowtie nanoantenna can be
favorably modified to increase the local intensity by a factor of 103 in the feed gap region …
