Comment on “Left-Handed Materials Do Not Make a Perfect Lens”
JB Pendry
In a recent
Physical Review Letter [1] Garcia and Nieto Vesperinas (GNV) dispute the claim
of perfect lensing made in [2]. The thrust of the GVN paper is that the
solutions proposed in [2] imply infinite energy density and are therefore
inadmissible. They claim that finite absorption leads to catastrophic collapse
of the amplifying solutions vital to focussing and that no useful effect can be
achieved. ….
