A modified Luneburg lens based on Hamiltonian optical transformation with planar feeds is proposed in this Letter. The lens, made of conventional all-dielectric materials, does not have any kind of anisotropy. Therefore, in theory, its bandwidth of operation has no upper frequency limitations in contrast with recent designs utilizing metamaterials. Results for wide-angle radiation and broadband operation are presented.

The development of zero-power moisture-harvesting technology in an unsaturated atmosphere is of great significance for coping with global freshwater scarcity. Here, inspired by Pachydactylus rangei's (Namib sand gecko) ability to evade thermal radiation and harvest moisture, a power-free cooling moisture harvester (PFCMH) is fabricated using the continuous, industrialized micro-extrusion compression molding. A Luneburg lens is introduced in the PFCMH for the first time, endowing it with a high reflectivity of ≈92.

The angular width and location of the strip is arbitrary, and its surface impedance is characterized with the aid of the quantum-physics Kubo formalism. We use a mathematically accurate full-wave analytical regularization technique, which is based on the explicit inversion of the problem static part and yields a Fredholm second-kind matrix equation.

Controlling the nonlinear relationship between surface plasmon polariton (SPP) mode index and chemical potential of graphene can be used in the field of active transformation optics. Here, we propose an electrically tunable 2D Graded Photonic Crystal (GPC) lens based on graphene SPP platform. Our platform comprises a graphene monolayer integrated into a back-gated structure with nano-patterned gate insulators.

Although the concept of acoustic Luneburg lenses was first proposed more than 50 years ago, its physical realization became feasible only in the last decade, owing to advancements in metamaterials research. Since then, numerous studies have explored the potential of these devices from the acoustic perspective. However, a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms associated with the optimal performance of these lenses remains underexplored in the literature.

In addressing sensing in harsh and dynamic environments, there are no available millimeter-wave chipless and wireless sensors capable of continuous operation at extremely high temperatures. Here we present a fully dielectric wireless temperature sensor capable of operating beyond 1000 C. The sensor uses high-Q cavities embedded within a three-dimensional photonic crystal resonating at 83.
