But in 1996 to 1999, the British physicist John Pendry showed that a sub-wavelength wire and ring array should have just the properties needed to produce a left-handed medium with a negative index of refraction.

Although the first metamaterials were photonic (i.e. artificially fabricated, sub-wavelength, periodic structures, designed to interact with optical frequencies) and acoustic (i.e. artificially fabricated materials designed to control, direct, and manipulate sound), the idea may be extended to the mechanical properties of materials defining mechanical metamaterials as artificially fabricated structures designed to achieve unusual mechanical properties.

To address that effectively, PalmettoNet selected Ciena's CN 4200 ROADM because it delivers true multi-degree optical switching functionality combined with granular sub-wavelength grooming to maximize bandwidth utilization while increasing service flexibility.

"We have successfully carried out an experimental demonstration of an acoustic hyperlens that magnifies sub-wavelength objects by gradually converting evanescent waves into propagating waves," said Xiang Zhang, a principal investigator with Berkeley Lab's Materials Sciences Division and director of the Nano-scale Science and Engineering Center at the University of California, Berkeley.

They also feature Canon's latest sub-wavelength structure coating (SWC) for the minimization of flare and ghosting, high-precision aspherical front elements to keep distortion to a minimum and multiple UD elements to reduce chromatic aberration.
