چکیده

The record of imaging resolution has kept being refreshed in the past decades and the best resolution of hyperlenses and superlenses so far is about one out of tens in terms of wavelength. In this paper, by adopting a hybrid concept of transformation optics and singular media, we report a broadband meta-lens design methodology with ultra-high resolution. The meta-lens is made of subwavelength metal/air layers, which exhibit singular medium property over a broad band. As a proof of concept, the subwavelength imaging ability is demonstrated over a broad frequency band from 1.5-10 GHz with the resolution varying from 1/117 to 1/17 wavelength experimentally.

Routing of deep-subwavelength optical beams and images without reflection and diffraction using infinitely anisotropic metamaterials.

Interfaces between media with infinite anisotropy, defined by infinite permittivity or permeability in one direction, offer new opportunities for controlling and manipulating light at the nanoscale. Reflectionless, diffraction-free routing of deep-subwavelength optical beams and images using interfaces between infinitely anisotropic media are demonstrated. It is shown how to achieve extremely l...

A Discrete Singular Convolution Method for the Seepage Analysis in Porous Media with Irregular Geometry

A novel discrete singular convolution (DSC)  formulation  is  presented for the seepage analysis in irregular geometric porous media. The DSC is a new promising numerical approach which has been recently applied to solve several engineering problems. For a medium with regular geometry, realizing of the DSC for the seepage analysis is straight forward. But DSC implementation for a medium with ir...

A holey-structured metamaterial for acoustic deep-subwavelength imaging

For classical waves such as light or sound, diffraction sets a natural limit on how finely the details of an object can be recorded on its image. Recently, various optical superlenses based on the metamaterials concept have shown the possibility of overcoming the diffraction limit1–7. Similar two-dimensional (2D) acoustic hyperlens designs have also been explored8–10. Here we demonstrate a 3D h...

Resolution of subwavelength transmission devices formed by a wire medium.

The restrictions on the resolution of transmission devices formed by wire media (arrays of conductive cylinders) recently proposed in Phys. Rev. B 71, 193105 (2005) and experimentally tested in Phys. Rev. B 73, 033108 (2006) are studied in this paper using both analytical and numerical modeling. It is demonstrated that such transmission devices have subwavelength resolution that can in principl...

Experimental demonstration of an acoustic magnifying hyperlens.

Acoustic metamaterials can manipulate sound waves in surprising ways, which include collimation, focusing, cloaking, sonic screening and extraordinary transmission. Recent theories suggested that imaging below the diffraction limit using passive elements can be realized by acoustic superlenses or magnifying hyperlenses. These could markedly enhance the capabilities in underwater sonar sensing, ...
