Sub-wavelength focusing meta-lens

We show that a planar plasmonic metamaterial with spatially variable meta-atom parameters can focus transmitted light into subwavelength hot-spots located beyond the near-field of the metamaterial. By nano-structuring a gold film we created an array of meta-lenses generating foci of 160 nm (0.2λ) in...
