User:Steve Quinn/Metamaterial broadband wide angle lens

The metamaterial broadband wide angle lens is based on gradient index lens strategies, combined with transformation optical capabilities that metamaterials provide. One method employs drilling holes in dielectric materials in order to overcome the challenges of using metal. This is in contrast to creating a negative index metamaterial to focus a discrete beam for subwavelength focusing.
