BNC Annual Research Review: Transforming Light with Metamaterials

15 Feb 2010 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Vladimir M. Shalaev

One of the most unique properties of light is that it can package information into a signal of zero mass and propagate it at the ultimate speed. It is, however, a daunting challenge to bring photonic devices to the nanometer scale because of the fundamental diffraction limit. Metamaterials can …
