A selection of publications on negative refraction from other researchers

The scientific exploration of negative refraction and metamaterials has developed rapidly, with several hundred papers appearing in scientific journals, conference proceedings and popular articles. This site archives a fairly large selection of these publications, organized by year of publication.

 
Links to publications
Early publications prior to 2000 laid the groundwork for the most recent developments in negative refraction.
In 2000, negative index metamaterials were introduced, as well as the concept of the "perfect lens" by John Pendry.
In 2001, negative refraction by a metamaterial wedge was demonstrated.
2002 was a controversial year for negative refraction in metamaterials; however, 2002 also saw ideas to realize negative refraction in photonice crystals.

In 2003, two more Snell's law experiments helped to decide the controversy in favor of negative index.
