Nanophotonics shines light on hyperbolic metamaterials

Light Sci Appl. 2022 Jan 10;11(1):9. doi: 10.1038/s41377-021-00688-2.

Abstract

Hyperbolic metamaterials with a unique hyperbolic dispersion relation allow propagating waves with infinitely large wavevectors and a high density of states. Researchers from Korea and Singapore provide a comprehensive review of hyperbolic metamaterials, including artificially structured hyperbolic media and natural hyperbolic materials. They explain key nanophotonic concepts and describe a range of applications for these versatile materials.
