Big Crunch-based omnidirectional light concentrators
Igor I. Smolyaninov, Yu-Ju Hung
Omnidirectional light concentration remains an unsolved problem despite such important practical applications as design of efficient mobile photovoltaic cells. Optical black hole d…
Collision of "metamaterial universes": experimental realization of Minkowski domain wall
Igor I. Smolyaninov, Yu-Ju Hung
Minkowski domain walls are being actively considered in gravitation theory. They may form during a vacuum phase transition, or as a result of braneworld collision. Despite having i…
Experimental Modeling of Cosmological Inflation with Metamaterials
Igor I. Smolyaninov, Yu-Ju Hung, Ehren Hwang
Recently we demonstrated that mapping of monochromatic extraordinary light distribution in a hyperbolic metamaterial along some spatial direction may model the flow of time and cre…
Modeling of Time with Metamaterials
Igor I. Smolyaninov, Yu-Ju Hung
Metamaterials have been already used to model various exotic "optical spaces". Here we demonstrate that mapping of monochromatic extraordinary light distribution in a hyperbolic me…
Electromagnetic cloaking in the visible frequency range
I. I. Smolyaninov, Y. J. Hung, C. C. Davis
Electromagnetic metamaterials provide unprecedented freedom and flexibility to introduce new devices, which control electromagnetic wave propagation in very unusual ways. Very rece…
Magnifying superlens in the visible frequency range
I. I. Smolyaninov, Y. J. Hung, C. C. Davis
In this communication we introduce a new design of the magnifying superlens and demonstrate it in the experiment.
