We show that a slab of meta-material (with e=μ=−1+iΔ) possesses a vortex-like surface wave with no ability to transport energy, whose nature is completely different from a localized mode or a standing wave. Through computations based on a rigorous time-dependent Green’s function approach, we demonstrate that such a mode inevitably generates characteristic image oscillations in two-dimensional focusing with even a monochromatic source, which were observed in many numerical simulations, but such oscillations are weak in three-dimensional focusing.
