Abstract

A composition of resonant passive metal-dielectric elements with gain medium results in a meta-material with an effective negative refractive index and compensated losses. To compensate for losses, additional energy is supplied using the stimulated emission from active elements made of a gain material. The overall objective is to overcome the fundamental threshold in resolution for conventional optical imaging limited to about a half-wavelength of incident light. The negative index material with compensated losses (NIMCOL) can be used in NIM-based optical imaging and sensing devices with enhanced sub-wavelength resolution. A lasing device based on overcompensating for the loss in NIM structures is disclosed as well.
