Abstract
Disclosed are a projecting type hyper-lens and a method of manufacturing the same. The projecting type hyper-lens includes a main lens layer and a substrate layer. A front surface of the main lens layer is recessed. The substrate layer supports the main lens layer. A front central portion of the main lens layer protrudes beyond a surface of the substrate layer. The projecting type hyper-lens allows an object to move towards a front surface of the hyper-lens until a distance between the front surface of the hyper-lens and the object is smaller than a half-wavelength of light, and thus images an object smaller than a half-wavelength of used light. Evanescent waves scattered from an object is used in a manner convenient to a user.
