TLDR
This work shows how electromagnetic fields can be redirected at will and proposes a design strategy that has relevance to exotic lens design and to the cloaking of objects from electromagnetic fields.Abstract:
Using the freedom of design that metamaterials provide, we show how electromagnetic fields can be redirected at will and propose a design strategy. The conserved fields-electric displacement field D, magnetic induction field B, and Poynting vector B-are all displaced in a consistent manner. A simple illustration is given of the cloaking of a proscribed volume of space to exclude completely all electromagnetic fields. Our work has relevance to exotic lens design and to the cloaking of objects from electromagnetic fields.read more

Flat Optics With Designer Metasurfaces
Nanfang Yu,Federico Capasso +1 more
TL;DR: This Review focuses on recent developments on flat, ultrathin optical components dubbed 'metasurfaces' that produce abrupt changes over the scale of the free-space wavelength in the phase, amplitude and/or polarization of a light beam.

A perfectly matched layer for the absorption of electromagnetic waves
TL;DR: Numerical experiments and numerical comparisons show that the PML technique works better than the others in all cases; using it allows to obtain a higher accuracy in some problems and a release of computational requirements in some others.

Experimental Verification of a Negative Index of Refraction
TL;DR: These experiments directly confirm the predictions of Maxwell's equations that n is given by the negative square root ofɛ·μ for the frequencies where both the permittivity and the permeability are negative.
