Abstract: Abstract Replying to: A. Reza, M. M. Dignam & S. Hughes Nature 455, 10.1038/nature07359 (2008) Reza et al.1 have confirmed our calculations and results on storing light inside metamaterial waveguides2. But they claim that losses constitute an “inherent” feature of any “realistic” negative-refraction metamaterial (NR-MM), and that light can never be stopped inside such a material in a practical way. We argue that both of these assertions are incorrect.
