36. Small loss factor is included in simulations because the surface modes in lossless cases are so strong that will hurt clarity of the numerical results. We have checked that our theoretical analysis can still be considered hold under low loss.
37. The lateral size of lenses is taken as 20λ in the simulations due to the memory limit of computer.
