Perfect imaging with positive refraction in three dimensions

Perfect imaging with positive refraction in three dimensions

Maxwell's fish eye has been known to be a perfect lens within the validity range of ray optics since 1854. Solving Maxwell's equations we show that the fish-eye lens in three dimensions has unlimited resolution for electromagnetic waves.
