Abstract

The imaging properties of photonic crystals (PCs) with effective negative refraction indexes are studied by the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The images resulting from a PC are the results of the interaction of multiple mechanisms. The superlens phenomena are restricted within some special conditions, such as low source frequency, excitation of surface mode and little effect of Bragg diffraction.
