Rapid growth of evanescent wave by a silver superlens
Abstract
Recent theoretical work suggested the possibility of constructing a super-resolution diffraction-free lens by using a negative refractive index medium (NRIM). The key proposition is that evanescent waves can be greatly enhanced by increasing the thickness of the NRIM. We report here experimental evidence that confirms that the transmission of evanescent waves rapidly grows with the film thickness up to about 50 nm, after which it decays as loss becomes significant. These findings represent the first step toward the understanding and realization of a diffraction-free lens.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
