Abstract :
Metamaterials with hyperbolic dispersion (where two eigenvalues of the dielectric permittivity tensor have opposite signs) exhibit a broad bandwidth singularity in the photonic density of states, with resulting manifestations in a variety of phenomena, from spontaneous emission to light propagation and scattering. In this tutorial, I will review some of the recent developments in this field.
