Description:

We demonstrate such behavior using a flat slab (0.15 micron) of the low-loss, natural hyperbolic material, hexagonal boron nitride. This thin natural hyperlens exhibits wavelength-dependent multifunctional operations, offering both imaging of single objects with down to lambda/32 resolution (0.4-micron at lambda=12.8 micron), as well as enabling up to 4.2x magnification, which can be explained based on the volume-confined, wavelength dependent propagation angle of Type I hyperbolic polaritons. Our results open up exciting new possibilities for guiding and sensing of light at an extreme sub-diffractional scale.
