Patent · Tue Oct 18 00:00:00 EDT 2011

OSTI ID:1531701

Smith, David R.; Schurig, David; Starr, Anthony F.; Mock, Jack J.

One exemplary metamaterial is formed from a plurality of individual unit cells, at least a portion of which have a different permeability than others. The plurality of individual unit cells are arranged to provide a metamaterial having a gradient index along at least one axis. Such metamaterials can be used to form lenses, for example.
