Abstract:
We used an optimized photonic crystal based flat lens for target detection and image reconstruction of micrometer sized objects for an operating wavelength of 1.55 μm. Using numerical retrieval procedures inspired from tomography, the ability to detect subwavelength sized targets and to image metallic objects of complex shapes is shown. The relation between the reconstructed image quality and lens resolution is investigated.
