Limits on the amplification of evanescent waves of left-handed materials
We investigate the transfer function of the discretized perfect lens in finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) and transfer matrix (TMM) simulations; the latter allow to eliminate the problems associated with the explicit time dependence in FDTD simulations. We argue that the peak observed in the FDTD transfer function near the maximum parallel …
