TLDR
In this paper, the authors review some of the recent developments in the field of hyperbolic dispersion of metamaterials and their applications in a variety of phenomena, from spontaneous emission to light propagation and scattering.Abstract:
Metamaterials with hyperbolic dispersion (where two eigenvalues of the dielectric permittivity tensor have opposite signs) exhibit a broad bandwidth singularity in the photonic density of states, with resulting manifestations in a variety of phenomena, from spontaneous emission to light propagation and scattering. In this tutorial, I will review some of the recent developments in this field.read more

Anderson localization and Brewster anomaly of electromagnetic waves in randomly-stratified anisotropic media
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the existence condition for the Brewster effect and concise analytical expressions for the localization length, which are accurate in the weak disorder regime and only in the second model with a positive ratio of the random parts.

Photonic Crystals: Molding the Flow of Light
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed the theoretical tools of photonics using principles of linear algebra and symmetry, emphasizing analogies with traditional solid-state physics and quantum theory, and investigated the unique phenomena that take place within photonic crystals at defect sites and surfaces, from one to three dimensions.

Optical Hyperlens: Far-field imaging beyond the diffraction limit.
TL;DR: In this article, an approach to far-field optical imaging beyond the diffraction limit is proposed, which allows image magnification, is robust with respect to material losses and can be fabricated by adapting existing metamaterial technologies in a cylindrical geometry.

On the Surface States Associated with a Periodic Potential
TL;DR: In this article, the wave functions and energy levels associated with a finite one-dimensional periodic potential field are investigated and the surface levels appear only at lattice constants so small that the boundary curves for the allowed energy bands have crossed.
