Full Wave Numerical Simulation of a Finite 3D Metamaterial Lens

During the last years the concept of the perfect lens, made of left handed material having negative permittivity and permeability attracted researchers interest. With the realization of such a lens it became possible to break the diffraction limit and subwavelength imaging became possible. A full wave analysis of a three dimensional, finite and impedance matched metamaterial lens is performed. Mainly the impact of the aperture size on the focusing quality will be analyzed
