Abstract

with functions in shaping 3D wave-propagation paths is proposed and experimentally verified. When radiation sources are placed in the central region, the lens behaves as a magnifying device to resolve the sources in subwavelength scale; while when the electromagnetic waves impinge on the semispherical lens from outside, they will be guided spirally inward.
