Parity-time symmetric nonlocal metasurfaces: Focusing and imaging through balanced loss and gain
Light focusing and imaging represent some of the oldest applications of optics. Despite centuries of developments, however, conventional optical systems still suffer from aberrations of different types and are limited to plane-to-plane imaging, issues that are inherent to the conventional laws of reflection and refraction [1]. Metamaterials and metasurfaces have offered a route to partially ove...

متن کاملNegative refraction based on purely imaginary conjugate metamaterials
By introducing a new mechanism based on purely imaginary conjugate metamaterials (PICMs), we reveal that bidirectional negative refraction and planar focusing can be obtained using a pair of PICMs, which is a breakthrough to the unidirectional limit in parity time (PT) symmetric systems. Compared with PT symmetric systems that require two different kinds of materials, the proposed negative refr...
متن کاملRefraction at the Interface of a Lossy Metamaterial
The refraction phenomenon at the interface of an ordinary material and a lossy metamaterial has been investigated. For oblique incidence on the lossy metamaterial, the planes of constant amplitude of the refracted wave are parallel to the interface and the plane of constant phases make a real angle with the interface (real refraction angle). The real refraction angle and hence, the real refract...
متن کاملExperimental demonstration of negative refraction imaging in both amplitude and phase.
We studied a two-dimensional square-lattice photonic crystal with all-angle negative refraction at its first band. Using this photonic crystal, we designed and fabricated a flat lens functioning as a cylindrical lens by increasing the vertical dimension of the photonic crystal. Two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain simulation validated negative refraction imaging. To perform the experim...
