dc.description.abstract	The authors study perspectives of nanowire metamaterials for negative-refraction waveguides, high-performance polarizers, and polarization-sensitive biosensors. They demonstrate that the behavior of these composites is strongly influenced by the concentration, distribution, and geometry of the nanowires, derive an analytical description of electromagnetism in anisotropic nanowire-based metamaterials, and explore the limitations of their approach via three-dimensional numerical simulations. Finally, they illustrate the developed approach on the examples of nanowire-based high-energy-density waveguides and nonmagnetic negative-index imaging systems with far-field resolution of one-sixth of vacuum wavelength.	en
