Abstract

Based on a focusing Mikaelian's lens with small refraction index (0<n<<1), an optical device is designed as a super-thin optical beam compressor (e.g., thickness = 3λ0) with an extremely high beam compression ratio (more than 19:1). This device can also be used as a beam collimator or a cylindrical-to-plane wave convertor with a much higher transmissivity than a zero-index metamaterial slab. The output beam shows good directionality in both near field and far field. A metamaterial structure is also designed to realize this device and verify its performance with finite element method (FEM).
