Some Problems with Negative Refraction
arXiv:physics/0105034 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.87.249703
Abstract
J. B. Pendry's "Negative Refraction Makes a Perfect Lens" is analyzed. It appears that several statements may be understood in terms of lens design but not in terms of fundamental behavior of light.
