Abstract

The results of investigation of the problem of cylindrical wave scattering by infinite and finite Veslago lenses are discussed. The problem is considered in a rigorous electrodynamic formulation. It is shown that the superfocusing effect is impossible in an ideal Veselago lens. It is reported that the near-field structures observed in the case of diffraction of a cylindrical wave by an electrically thick lens and an electrically thin lens are substantially different.
