Résumé

Using numerical simulation for THz waves, a design has been proposed and a parametric analysis of the geometrical parameters of the cylindrical hyperlens has been carried out. The dependences of image formation from two slits with subwavelength resolution on the number of layers, the thickness of the dielectric and metal layers, the radius and thickness of the hyperlens have been studied. The optimal parameters of the hyperlens for the formation of a high-quality image with subwavelength resolution in the near and far fields have been found.
