Numerical research on properties of optical-wave target detection and imaging from NR-PC flat lens
2010
The characteristics of optical-wave target detection and imaging from a negative-refraction photonic crystal (NR-PC) flat lens are studied with a two-dimensional (2D) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method in the paper. The results show that there exists a transmission peak, with a value far greater than unit, resulting from the influence of the mini-forbidden bands and resonance excitation effect at resonance frequency. Also, the refocusing of backscattered optical wave from the target leads to its image with a sub-wavelength lateral resolution and great amplitude as long as the target is placed at the focus of the NR-PC flat lens. Therefore, the NR-PC flat lens will find many implications in optical area, especially in the detection and imaging of small targets.
