The role of normal polarization in far-field subwavelength imaging by a dielectric microsphere or microcylinder

The role of normal polarization in far-field subwavelength imaging by a dielectric microsphere or microcylinder

Role of the normal polarization in the far-field subwavelength imaging granted by a dielectric microsphere or microcylinder is discussed and the hypotheses explaining this experimental fact are suggested. One of these hypotheses is confirmed by exact numerical simulations. This mechanism of the magnifying superlens operation is based on the excitation …
