Abstract:
The propagation of polarized light through Mikaelan’s lenses designed using photon-crystal media and composite metal-dielectric media is considered. Intensity increasing in case of modification of dielectric photon-crystal Mikaelan’s lens by addition of gradient composite metal-dielectric media segments is observed. Composite metal-dielectric Mikaelan’s lens demonstrates the polarization degree up to 100 %.

Key words:
Mikaelan’s lens, photon crystal, effective medium theory, metamaterial.
