dc.descriptionIn a recent communication, Parimi et al. (Nature 426, 404 (2003)) reported the experimental results on imaging by a flat lens made of photonic crystals. They attributed the observed focusing to the negative refraction expected for the Left-Handed-Materials (LHMs). Here we demonstrate that the experimental observation is irrelevant to the negative refraction of LHMs. Rather, the phenomenon is a natural result of the anisotropic scattering by an array of scatterers.
