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.

One-Way Hyperbolic Metasurfaces Based on Synthetic Motion

TL;DR: In this article, a non-reciprocal hyperbolic propagation in metasurfaces placed synthetically in motion through traveling-wave space-time modulation is proposed, which induces additional exotic opportunities for nanophotonic systems.

Chemo- and Thermomechanically Configurable 3D Optical Metamaterials Constructed from Colloidal Nanocrystal Assemblies

TL;DR: Large-area metamaterials with chiroptical responses of as high as ~40% transmission difference between left-hand and right-hand circularly polarized light (ΔT=TRCP-TLCP) that are suitable for broadband circular polarizers and, upon thermally-configuring their shape, switch the polarity of polarization rotation are created.

Beam splitting and unidirectional cloaking using anisotropic zero-index photonic crystals

TL;DR: In this article, an anisotropic photonic crystal (PC) structure with close-to-zero effective parameters was proposed for optical unidirectional cloaking without size or shape limitation.

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.

Negative refraction in semiconductor metamaterials.

TL;DR: A comparatively low-loss, three-dimensional, all-semiconductor metamaterial that exhibits negative refraction for all incidence angles in the long-wave infrared region and requires only an anisotropic dielectric function with a single resonance is demonstrated.
