Far-field optical lens resolution is fundamentally limited by diffraction, which typically about half of the wavelength. This due to evanescent waves carrying small scale information from an object that fades away in far field. A recently proposed superlens theory offers a new approach surface excitation at negative index medium. We introduce far-field (FSL) capable imaging beyond diffraction limit. The FSL significantly enhances and converts them into propagating are measured show can image...
