Towards a practical compact magnifying superlens—a simple simplical design
A magnifying superlens is a resonant lens that can enhance the radar cross section of an object beyond its physical size. Although these lenses have many potential applications and the recipe to design and make these lenses is relatively straightforward, the general superlens is too complicated to b...

| description | A magnifying superlens is a resonant lens that can enhance the radar cross section of an object beyond its physical size. Although these lenses have many potential applications and the recipe to design and make these lenses is relatively straightforward, the general superlens is too complicated to be built. In this work, we introduce a simple, systematic and versatile method to construct the simplest possible magnifying superlens. With this methodology we hope that one day this will lead to the construction of practical superlenses. |
