Abstract:We numerically model and experimentally demonstrate sub-diffraction limited focusing of mid-infrared light using all-semiconductor hyperbolic metamaterial photonic funnels. Enhanced transmission through single funnels with aperture diameter /20 is demonstrated, in excellent agreement with our simulations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
