Abstract: The resolution associated with the so-called perfect lens of thickness $d$ is $-2pid/ln(|chi+2|/2)$. Here the susceptibility $chi$ is a Hermitian function in $H^2$ of the upper half-plane, i.e., a $H^2$ function satisfying $$. An additional requirement is that the imaginary part of $chi$ be nonnegative for nonnegative arguments. Given an interval $I$ on the positive half-axis, we compute the distance in $L^{i}nfty(I)$ from a negative constant to this class of functions. This result gives a surprisingly simple and explicit formula for the optimal resolution of the perfect lens on a finite bandwidth.
