Optical Superlenses: Quality and Fidelity in Silver-Dielectric Near-Field Imaging Systems

In the year 2000 John Pendry described a new kind of lens that could focus both the propagating and evanescent components of light. This ‘super’ lens, which took the form of a thin slab of silver with a negative effective index of refraction under certain conditions, had the ability to reproduce ima...
