Metamaterials and Negative Refractive Index

D. R. Smith, J. B. Pendry, M. C. K. Wiltshire

Recently, artificially constructed metamaterials have become of considerable interest, as these materials can exhibit electromagnetic characteristics unlike any conventional materi…

Negative Index Lens Aberrations

D. Schurig, D. R. Smith

We examine the Seidel aberrations of thin spherical lenses composed of media with refractive index not restricted to be positive. We find that consideration of this expanded parame…

Electromagnetic Wave Propagation in Media with Indefinite Permittivity and Permeability Tensors

D. R. Smith, D. Schurig

We study the behavior of wave propagation in materials for which not all of the principle elements of the permeability and permittivity tensors have the same sign. We find that a w…

Limitations on Sub-Diffraction Imaging with a Negative Refractive Index Slab

D. R. Smith, D. Schurig, Marshall Rosenbluth +3

Recently it has been proposed that a planar slab of material, for which both the permittivity and permeability have the values of -1, could bring not only the propagating fields as…

Comment on "Wave Refraction in Negative-Index Media: Always Positive and Very Inhomogeneous"

JB Pendry, D. R. Smith

In a recent Physical Review Letter [1] Valanju Walser and Valanju (VWV) called into question the basis of work on the so called negative index media (NIM). See for example [2,3]. T…
