Metamaterial lens design

Given a surface which is not necessarily rotationally symmetric, we design a second surface such that the lens bounded between these two surfaces refracts monochromatic radiation into a given point. The lens consists of a material having a negative refractive index. We then generalize a result of Ve...

Summary:Given a surface which is not necessarily rotationally symmetric, we design a second surface such that the lens bounded between these two surfaces refracts monochromatic radiation into a given point. The lens consists of a material having a negative refractive index. We then generalize a result of Veselago when the given surface is a plane and show that there are times when the second surface can never be a plane.
