摘要
We demonstrate that strongly anisotropic planar dielectric systems can be used to create waveguides supporting modes with extremely slow group velocity. Furthermore, we show that such systems can be used for 3D imaging, with a potential for subwavelength resolution. (c) 2006 Optical Society of America.
