Description:
We demonstrate a magnifying superlens that can be integrated into a conventional far-field optical microscope. Our design is based on a multilayer photonic metamaterial consisting of alternating layers of positive and negative refractive index, as originally proposed by Narimanov and Engheta. We achieved a resolution on the order of 70 nanometers. The use of such a magnifying superlens should find numerous applications in imaging.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Smolyaninov, Igor I -- Hung, Yu-Ju -- Davis, Christopher C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Mar 23;315(5819):1699-701.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742, USA. smoly@eng.umd.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17379804" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
