Anti-mirror effect: A perfect lens brings a brighter feature

Optics 2011-05-10 v1 Materials Science Classical Physics

Abstract

In this letter, we show that a perfect lens can be employed to make multiple objects appear like only one in the far field, leading to a new concept of illusion optics. Numerical simulations are performed to verify the functionalities for both passive and active objects. The conceptual device can be utilized to enhance the illumination brightness for both incoherent and coherent systems.
