I point out the incorrect statement of the recent manuscript by K.Penc and B.S.Shastry.
The general reflection and refraction laws at the metasurface with the abrupt phase shift were derived by two different methods of Fermat's principle and the boundary conditions respectively. It is found that one or two critical angles for…
We analyze the performance of a planar lens based on realistic negative index material in a generalized geometry. We demonstrate that the conventional superlens design (where the lens is centered between the object and the image) is not…
Negative refraction, which reverses many fundamental aspects of classical optics, can be obtained in systems with negative magnetic permeability and negative dielectric permittivity. This Letter documents an experimental realization of…
In this research-paper, many of the general-relativity-tests such as bending of light near a star and gravitational red/blue shift are explained without general-relativity & even without Newtonian-approach. The authors first raise questions…
We consider the inverse refractor and the inverse reflector problem. The task is to design a free-form lens or a free-form mirror that, when illuminated by a point light source, produces a given illumination pattern on a target. Both…
In his scientific treatise entitled De Lineis, Angulis et Figuris, seu Fractionibus et Reflexionibus Radiorum, Robert Grosseteste is discussing some qualitative geometric rules about reflection and refraction. However, he is also discussing…
I review some of the main results on hard diffraction, in their relation to QCD, and indicate some of the strengths and weaknesses of the arguments. I also make some suggestions for future work.
We discuss the claims of the comment at arXiv.org:physics/0609234. We show that A.V. Kildishev et al. misread our method of extracting of optical constants of nanostructured films. The theoretical calculations performed in the comment…
In this article, it has been theoretically shown that broad angle negative refraction is possible with asymmetric anisotropic metamaterials constructed by only dielectrics or loss less semiconductors at the telecommunication and relative…
The volume coherent deflection of high-energy positive and negative particles in uniformly bent crystals is studied. The general analysis of potential scattering shows that the standard screening potential for a large class of collisions…
In this small note we ask several questions which are relevant to the construction of the self-consistent neutrino theory of light. The previous confusions in such attempts are explained in the more detailed publication.
Perfect lensing and cloaking based on complementary media are possible applications of negative refractive index materials. Metamaterials represent the natural candidates to realize such property by tailoring the effective dielectric…
The idea that a material can exhibit negative compressibility is highly consequential for research and applications. As new forms for this effect are discovered, it is important to examine the range of possible mechanisms and ways to design…
Comment to "Mechanism for Designing Metamaterials with a High Index of Refraction" by J. T. Shen, Peter B. Catrysse and Shanhui Fan.
We reconsider the refraction of evanescent waves at an interface between air and negative index medium under the assumption that negative index medium is necessarily dispersive and lossy. We show that all evanescent waves in air will be…
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]. The key point at issue is, `what is the group velocity of a…
Exact time-dependent solutions of Maxwell's equations in Maxwell's fish eye show that perfect imaging is not an artifact of a drain at the image, although a drain is required for subwavelength resolution.
We developed a formula for the law of reflection of a plane-polarized light beam from an inclined flat mirror in uniform rectilinear motion by a direct application of the Huygens-Fresnel principle. Applying the obtained formula and the…
A review of some of the author's results in the area of inverse scattering is given. The following topics are discussed: 1) Property $C$ and applications, 2) Stable inversion of fixed-energy 3D scattering data and its error estimate, 3)…
