The aim of an invisibility device is to guide light around any object put inside, being able to hide objects from sight. In this work, we propose a novel design of dielectric invisibility media based on negative refraction and optical…
We present an abstract method in the setting of compact metric spaces which is applied to solve a number of problems in geometric optics. In particular, we solve the one source near field refraction problem. That is, we construct surfaces…
The bending of lightrays by the gravitational field of a ``lens'' that is moving relative to the observer is calculated within the approximation of weak fields, small angles and thin lenses. Up to first order in $v/c$ -- and assuming the…
In this paper, we show by experiment that by covering a thin flat nonlinear lens on the sources, the sub-diffraction-limit observation can be achieved by measuring either the near-field distribution or the far-field radiation of the sources…
There are three widely-used conditions for characterizing negative refraction in isotropic dielectric-magnetic materials. Here we demonstrate that whilst all the different conditions are equivalent for purely passive media, they are…
Recently, significant progress has been made in the study of methods for 3D reconstruction from multiple images using implicit neural representations, exemplified by the neural radiance field (NeRF) method. Such methods, which are based on…
Refection Positivity is a central theme at the crossroads of Lie group representations, euclidean and abstract harmonic analysis, constructive quantum field theory, and stochastic processes. This book provides the first presentation of the…
Throughout all years of study, students of physics are confronted with the question 'what exactly is light?' - a question that is impossible to answer correctly and, therefore, continuously discussed within the framework of models. Numerous…
New ray-optical elements allow generalized refraction of light rays, but geometry imposes limitations on possible mappings between the positions of an object and its geometric image. Here I study the case of an infinite, planar,…
An explicit form for the geodesic equations that would describe diffracted light rays is obtained and the Levi-Civita connection that enters into it is shown to be a sum of contributions from the metric of the ambient space, the index of…
The reflectivity of photonic cluster is important property for nanophotonic applications especially when one needs to hide the cluster or to make it extremely visible. Currently, where are no methods clearly describing how to create the…
We experimentally and theoretically studied a new left-handed (LH) structure based on a photonic crystal (PC) with a negative refractive index. The structure consists of triangular array of rectangular dielectric bars with dielectric…
It has been shown that for left-handed metamaterials and generally for negative refraction media the refraction index cannot be entered unequivocally and cannot be considered as real, and especially as negative. This index for above…
In planar metamaterial lenses, the focal point moves with the frequency. Here it is shown numerically that this movement can be controlled by properly engineering the dimensions of the metamaterial-based phase shifters that constitute the…
Bidirectional transformation, also called lens, has played important roles in maintaining consistency in many fields of applications. A lens is specified by a pair of forward and backward functions which relate to each other in a consistent…
Frustrated total internal reflection is analyzed from an unusual point of view Unlike most similar works, incident angles are used here as the scanning variable, instead of the tunneled film thickness. The theoretical framework is presented…
Proceeding from optical analogy we propose a new physical interpretation of unitarity saturation leading to antishadowing as a reflective scattering. This interpretation of antishadowing is related to the non-perturbative aspects of strong…
An exact formulation of the propagation of a monochromatic wave packet impinging upon a transparent, homogeneous, isotropic and parallel slab at oblique incidence is presented. Approximate formulas are derived for low divergence Gaussian…
Diffraction limits the behaviour of light in optical systems and sets the smallest achievable line width at half the wavelength. With a novel subwavelength plasmonic lens to reduce the diffraction via an asymmetry and to generate and…
We present an elementary analysis of the effects on light reflected from a uniformly moving mirror by using the photon picture of light and the conservation laws for energy and momentum of the system photon-mirror. Such a dynamical approach…
