Exact solution to line source scattering by an ideal left-handed wedge.
A wedge or prism is a common geometry used in experiments involving left-handed media (LHM). It is shown that an exact analytical solution to the canonical problem of scattering by a LHM wedge or prism is feasible in the limit of no losses. The solution reproduces the ideal point image announced by Pendry which has not been observed experimentally. The analysis also results in the introduction of a new kind of resonator or photon localization device.
