  • Abstract
    We numerically demonstrate a low loss optical lens (~1.55 mum) with inhomogeneous graded index metamaterials. Parametric optimization studies are presented. For a (64times64)lambda2 sample f=3.2 mm with T=0.76. This structure can be easily fabricated with standard semiconductor processing techniques.
