Abstract

Metamaterials are being used to model various exotic “optical spaces” for such applications as novel lenses and cloaking. While most efforts are directed toward the engineering of continuously changing dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability tensors, an alternative approach may be based on lattices of metamaterial waveguides. Here we demonstrate the power of the latter technique by presenting metamaterial lattice models of various four-dimensional spaces.
